Writeblr Introduction
Hello! My name is MT (she/her, in the twilight of my 20s) and I'm a writer looking for other writers to connect with! I'm a bit of a Tumblr dinosaur (first account circa 2014) but I've been away from Tumblr for a number of years. This is my first time making a Writblr introduction so without further ado...
About my Writing:
I write mostly speculative fiction with a bent towards horror and the weird though I love to experiment with other genres every once in a while. I've spent the last year focusing on one long-term project that I would classify as a horror thriller (though it keeps evolving). I'm just about out of the outlining stage for its second draft. In between that, I work on a number of short story projects in various stages of drafting.
Common Themes/Tropes/Things I Like:
I like a light touch of the fantastical. Ghosts, magic, the potential for the strange.
I also like to toe the line between what's real and what's imagined. The psychological and the existential. The fluidity of time and the absurdity of existence. Most of the time, my characters are battling something within themselves that's manifesting as something strange outside of themselves. To put it simply, I like messy characters.
Monsters, eldritch horrors, and the things we cannot name.
I love a good mystery. Long buried secrets coming to the surface, a strange death without cause, detectives solving puzzles. I've been working this more into my current WIP
I love history. I've been recently obsessed with the American frontier circa 1850s-1890s, the counterculture and social movements of the 1960s/1970s, and most things Victorian. Cultural and social histories are my obsessions and I like exploring concepts in my fiction
Genres I Read:
I try to read widely but my go-tos will always be mystery/thrillers, speculative fiction, horror, and a good nonfiction book that explores a historical or true crime obsession. I'm also partial to fantasy and romance when I'm in the mood for it.
That's about all I can think of to write at the moment! If any of you want to connect, feel free to say hello!
