social media hasn’t been great for my mental health recently, so I’m not really going to be using this account anymore. thanks everyone for being really nice, I appreciate you a lot and I hope all of your future writing endeavors go wonderfully ✨

@hillelf also tagged me for the last line tag!

I haven’t been writing much lately as I’ve been deep into outlining, but I’ve been sporadically working on a new short story, so that’s the last thing I’ve written. it’s very unedited, so don’t take it too seriously.

The second time we met, my fever was gone. We were outside, familiar mist obscuring the light, turning the world monotone. I was pulling up pieces of grass, and you picked up the stack of ripped blades and poured them over my head like confetti. I blinked up at your laughter through the green strands. I brushed them from my face, you brushed them from my hair. 

again, I’m not quite sure who to tag so if you’ve already done this then I’m sorry and you can ignore it!

Top 3 ships: hmm...i don’t really think about ships that much, but a few i love are: gansey + blue and ronan + adam from the raven cycle, and jesper + wylan from six of crows. these are super basic answers but i am blanking on others right now

Lipstick or chapstick: chapstick probably?

Last song: the balancer’s eye by lord huron!

Last movie: oh it was Cats, that’s cursed

Currently reading: the lonely hearts hotel by heather o’neill! i didn’t really know what it would be like going in and wow it’s a lot darker than i had expected. i’m really not sure how i feel about it tbh

I’m not quite sure who to tag so if you’ve already done this then I’m sorry, and you can ignore it!

hi, I’m nicky. 

I’ve always loved writing and recently have become much more focused on it. I haven’t been writing consistently for a very long time, so please bear with me through my beginner mistakes (as well as my newness to tumblr, which I truly do not understand at all). the writeblr community seems like a very welcoming place, and I’ve enjoyed learning about others’ work as I’ve perused through the tag, so I figured I’d give it a shot.

before we continue, a little more about me. I go by any pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them), so you can pick whichever ones you would like, I promise I do not have a preference. also, I’m a taurus, if that’s important, and I am notoriously bad at titling things. I’ll be using this blog to post updates and such about my wips, connect with other writers, and just generally have a good time (I mean, that’s the hope).

about my writing in general: my characters are the most important part of every project I write, and I’m currently trying to learn how to write stories that are more character-driven because those are always very interesting to me. I love writing about settings that feel somewhat surreal and distant from society, and I am a sucker for beautiful prose and imagery. also all of my current work is young adult fiction. although I would like to branch out at some point, these are just the ideas I feel the most connected to right now.

I only have a few work in progresses, and I plan to make separate posts about them soon. one is a contemporary fantasy about a small town (yes, basic) that includes a lake, a boarding school, dark entities, bad decisions, and too many insects. my other main work in progress is a contemporary novel about three girls and the wintertime. I write short stories now and then, but I would like to write them more consistently as they are very enjoyable to work on. 

as I am very new to the writeblr community, I would love to find new blogs to follow. although I only write in a few genres, I love any kind of fiction work. also I am always open to reading drafts and giving feedback. 

if you’ve stuck through all of my rambling, then thank you. 

if you want to, then you can reblog this, leave a comment, reach out to me, or etc. so that I can find some new people in the community. 

  thank you again for your time,

- nicky
