PhaseWriter

JustALifelongPhase on AO3. This is a side blog I'll use for writing. Feel free to send me prompts and such! There will also be some fanfic (oh my!) Absolutely open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism Name is Sin (they/them)

[fellshish]

i write for myself not for comments but dear god getting comments does so remind me of the joy of writing and sharing something

[keriarentikai]

Proposal for new fandom etiquette:

If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.

Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

[phasewriter]

I haven’t written in a couple years. Weirdly, it’s for a good reason.

I’m happy. Writing was an escape and there’s nothing in my life I need to run from anymore. This is a good thing.

But now I need to find a new motivation because I miss writing, I genuinely do, and I’ve got dozens of stories floating in my head but the executive dysfunction when it comes to actually WRITING is a roadblock I’ve never actually had to deal with

[sepulchritude]

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

new ask game: tell me what u think u know about me based on my fics/art/etc

[rederiswrites]

It is a painful truth that actually none of my fics are abandoned, no, not even the ones that haven’t updated in five years. I still know exactly what happens next, and after that, and so on. They’re not abandoned; they’re right here, haunting me, characters climbing up my pants like kittens nagging for dinner.

writer culture is having that one scene that really scratches your id, and being willing to write forty thousand words to get to it.

[sevdrag]

FUCK

[shiplocks-of-love]

This is literally. LITERALLY. How I started writing. How very dare you.

[writeanapocalae]

the scene doesn’t take place until book 4. BOOK 4. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[queerspeculativefiction]

I feel this. Oh I feel it so much.

[efaya]

MEEEEEEEE

WHEN I SAID I WANTED TO FEEL SEEN THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT

Storyteller Saturday

Once again, Saturday has struck! And once again, I want to attempt to revive this lovely event! (It was a whole lot of fun last week!)

Reblog this post if you want people to send you asks about your writing, wip, or characters today! For each ask you get, try and send one back in return!

This event was originally started by @lonely-pages-of-ink and @drist-n-dither, and was a huge, incredibly fun writeblr event when I first joined this community, but has since fallen in participation and awareness. You can read the original info post here!

And don’t feel shy about sending asks to writeblrs you know nothing about—this is a wonderful way to get to know new stories, and make new friends!

[phasewriter]

Happy Storyteller Saturday! If you could put the characters from your current WIP and in fact your WIP itself in a completely different genre, what would it be?

Oooh! I’ve never thought of that before! Right now it’s an urban fantasy, so I suppose...I’d go for a mystery? Or full fantasy but that feels like a cheap answer. Either mystery or even sci-if just to explore that!

[phasewriter]

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Tell us about a moment your WIP made you smile :)

Aw, thanks 😊 and this one is easy!

I was writing flashbacks about two of my characters and DEAR GOD one of them is just a baby gay who didn’t know how to handle a crush! We’ve all been there, it made me smile!

what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience

what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms

Look man idk about the rest of you but to me being a writer is distracting because my OCs won’t shut up. But it isn’t like having my characters in my head talking to me or anything, it’s more like they’re fucking distracting me by talking REAL LOUD to eachother and I’m just like “could you...go somewhere private? Somewhere that isn’t my brain that I need to use right now?” And they do nothing because they are unaware of my existence. Also because they’re Rude.
