I just realized I forgot to post an intro
Howdy! I go by Moth (he/him), I'm 23, and I'm hoping to find some fellow writers to be mutuals with! I started writing my first novel in 6th grade study hall (lost to time, unfortunately) and I've been writing ever since.
I write fantasy, realistic fiction, and poetry. I also dabble in sci-fi and romance
I've been worldbuilding for a novel I started in my senior year of college. I'm not sure if I'll post much about it, but I'll leave some details below just in case I do
This blog will mostly contain short stories, blurbs about characters I'm developing, and some poetry
I've got a couple of WIPs:
I'm writing a series of short stories/blurbs surrounding one specific character through the years. Each section will reveal more and more about her, but her name remains a mystery (for now). Read the her stories here: The Woman at the Bar, A Party in 1963, 1982 (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3)
I'm working on a longer sci-fi short story that follows the crew of a space station through a meteor shower that damages the station. I don't have anything ready quite yet, but I'm hoping to post part 1 sometime soon!
I'm frequently writing poetry, but the topics vary piece by piece. I write free-verse, for the most part, but I enjoy playing with forms like sestinas and haiku. Currently, these are the poems I have up: Haiku for the Deer on the Side of the Highway
I'm not sure if/how much I'll post about it, but here are some details about my novel:
I'm building the world from scratch. It's still in the early stages, but I've developed a few cities in which the novel is set. I've also been working on the main characters' cultures
It's somewhere-between-high-and-low fantasy (I'm not sure how else to describe it) and will follow the main characters in an attempt to save the kingdom of Lyhold from war.
One of the aforementioned main characters is Ailbhe (Al-va), a thief by trade. He's a member of a nomadic culture and is well-versed in all things plants. He's missing his ring and pinky fingers on his right hand and has a prosthetic that comes in handy in more ways than one (I'm so sorry).
The other main character is Gaheriet, a captain in the King's Guard (the official army of Lyhold). He doesn't remember anything about his childhood before the age of 11, when he joined the Guard to train as a knight.
There will be a romantic subplot (they're gay, your honor). There's a lot of lore between the two of them but if I had to describe it, it's friends to enemies to lovers (but Gaheriet doesn't know about the "friends" part).
Anyway, that's a bit about me! I'm always open to critique and I look forward to sharing more stories in the future. Feel free to send me a message or reblog if you'd like to be mutuals, and thanks for taking the time to check out my blog!
