hiatus notice.
hello fellow writers!
on behalf of quillstarters, i’d like to announce our indefinite hiatus. although both luna and i have enjoyed our time immensely working together to bring inspiration to the tumblr writing community, we have decided to part ways on this blog. it has been so fun creating these challenges and we hope this can stay as references to future writers! remember to keep writing, keep practicing, and keep having fun :)
- angel
i’ve personally learned lots from my time with angel writing for quillstarters! angel and i want to thank everyone who’s followed this blog’s journey or even simply participated in our events. we hope that this blog has inspired your writing journey and will perhaps continue to do so. stay inspired and write what makes you happy!

challenge n°15 !!!
in the spirit of may, this month's challenge will be related to flowers and their meanings. listed below are some flowers, their meanings, and a related prompt! use as much or as little from the given information as you'd like.
your followers can send in a name + flower for you to write about.
yellow hyacinth (victory and defeat; fight to the finish) - "this love is worth too much to me to give up for anything in the world."
myrtle (sweet nothings; whisper of love) - "one can find love hidden in the corners, nooks, and crevices of their words."
asphodel (i am yours) - "please, say those words to me one more time."
marigold (pitiful affection; a bright new start) - "to let go meant to hurt and to grieve, but it also meant to start anew and bloom."
holly hock (a torrid love affair; passionate love) - "their love was doomed from the start, so why did they keep coming back for more?"
rosemary (please think about me) - "it's a quiet, vulnerable plea that falls from their lips like the snowflakes entangled in their hair."
saffron (youth without regret) - "they loved for all their lives, so much so, that it consumed them and to be alive was to love."
additional resource: korean birth flowers
(remember to tag your entries with "quillstarters-entry" in the first five tags!)
Time and Time Again - CHANGBIN
I cannot believe this is finished??? I feel like I say this every time but genuinely I didn’t think this would get done until maybe bin’s birthday in August but I somehow finished it the second day of January?? Anyway, I really loved this (the concept LITERALLY came to me in a dream), and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it :)
(The idea that prompted this response to a @quillstarters challenge is the same one that inspired this story :D)
Pairing: Changbin x gender neutral!reader
Genre: fluff, angst, reincarnation!au, soulmate!au
Triggers: death, mentions of suicide, blood (nothing graphic)
Word Count: 10.8k
A vengeful god curses one hundred lifetimes of your love.
SKZ Masterlist
In your first life, the life that starts it all, your mother knows magic.
She’s a healer, one whose patients come from all walks of life, all over the world. From that first lifetime, you remember the heavy, comforting smell of dried herbs, the softness of her hair tickling your face, the shimmers of magic emanating from her practiced fingers into bubbling pots.
You sort of remember a father, hazy memories of a smiling man who wasn’t home very often but when he was, liked to pick you up and swing you around the room. He isn’t around by the time you’re six, maybe seven, though.
You know not to ask about it. The first time you did, your mother’s face just turned sad, an awful sort of sad that looked more like regret and repentance and anger and desolation. It takes a few more slip ups, but eventually you learn to ignore your curiosities. For though your mother never outright dismisses them, they upset her, and you never get a straight response.
Until the god arrives.
Keep reading
thank you for participating!! we’re glad to have inspired you, keep writing :)

challenge nº12!!!
it’s the first month of the new year! because it’s the beginning of a new year, we’re going to be doing a different type of challenge. think of it as a writer interview!
reblog this post with the answers to these questions:
1. what types of character personalities do you want to try writing?
2. what au!s and tropes do you want to try writing?
3. what’s your longest writing’s word count? what’s your word count goal for the year?
4. any other writing goals?
1. I want to write characters that are less vague. I want to do more OC characters for this reason, so that I don’t feel the need to make them so relatable.
2. I want to write at least one soulmate!au soon, and I want to write more stuff that isn’t yandere/mafia stuff cuz - as much as I really love writing those - I wanna try something different. I wanna write my royal!taemin/royal!yixing one, and a murder mystery thing, and some more supernatural!au things
3. Not counting my series that might be longer as a whole, I think my longest is around 5.5K and I don’t wanna make one much longer than that, but I don’t ever give myself a word count goal. It’s part of writing my pieces down by hand where I count pages instead of words, and I don’t force myself to write more or less for any fic. Whatever flows out onto the pages works for me.
4. My 2021 goal is just to continue writing but not burn myself out. That’s literally all my goal is this time around 😌
i love that goal! it can be a real challenge to avoid burnout as a writer, so kudos to you! i think taking breaks is very helpful, as well as using writing exercises (like the prompts we have here on quillstarter) to let the creative flow take you on a journey. the biggest thing is writing for yourself, of course. best of luck to your soulmate au! they're always so fun to write.

I love this 😔
1. I wanna write more complicated ones :< characters with more depth and reason yk not just “oh they react like this because it makes sense lolololol” yk I want reasons boi
2. SOME SORT OF VILLAIN TROPE also I wanna finish my cowboy and pirate AU I’ve started some time ago :)
3. My longest writing is 4.2k and I wanna keep it like that XD I don’t like reading long fics which means I don’t rlly wanna write them either 😔
4. Just finishing my wips and participate in some writing events/writing challenges maybe :)
character building is always a process! i think the biggest part of writing a character is the character's motivation. why are they doing what they are? how are they going to do so, and how far will they go? also, writing events are always fun to stretch your creative muscles! remember not to pressure yourself to finish wips; writing is supposed to give you enjoyment!

1. I usually have sarcastic characters or merry psychotics. I… is there any other kind of character? I shall research this…
2. Mostly ‘slice of life’ this year, I feel that it’s nice and stress-free, doesn’t have to make a whole lot of sense. Eventually I want to write magical realism, have done for a while but no real ideas for a story yet.
3. For one story, I think it was 100K but it was part of a series, so… I tend to write very rambly stories so my average range was between 3K to 8K.
4. Just please let me write at least one thing this year, pleeeeeeaaaaaaase.
100k?? my jaw needs replacement. take writing one step at a time! or one scene at a time, haha. i like to set time aside each week and do mini writing sprints with my friends. i wish i could write fantasy: world building sounds so fun and yet so hard at the same time.
i wish you the best of luck!

oh this is cute! here we go:
1. kinda want to try writing an evil but annoyingly intelligent asshole! doing that rn in kingdom and it’s fun as HECK. also some of the more prickly types of people, which I hope to also put into kingdom :D
2. I want to try and do more slice of life fics? I love fantasy and all, but sometimes I think I’d do better to ground myself a bit more in reality. also want to do some magical realism! it’s a setting I’ve always loved to read, but I haven’t put it much into my own writing.
3. longest wc was 56,757 in swing!, though kingdom is set to WAY surpass that by the time I finish. my wc for last year was just under 240k, so I want to see if I can get to 300k this year >:) we’ll see though
4. just to write stuff that I enjoy, care a little less about reblogs/notes, and expand my reach to the boyz and possibly new groups as well :)
good luck to this writer! 56k words is amazing... i’m in awe. yes about not caring so much about notes and stuff!! that’s something i have to work on as well :)

challenge nº11!!!
for the final challenge of 2020, we'd like to look back and reflect on the year. in this challenge, we'd like to focus on the positives, as we're sure there's been many opportunities to wallow in the negatives. we'd like you to look around you and think to yourself, what positives happened to you this year? what wouldn't have happened if it were a normal year? what little things made this year better?
write about a happy moment you had this year with an idol of your choice!
to expand this challenge, your followers can send in a scenario of a happy moment that happened to them this year + an idol of their choice.
ex: playing animal crossing all day + jungkook
