MEET THE WRITER + ADMIN OF THIS ACCOUNT

— an updated writeblr reintroduction

and hello everyone! welcome to my little writing nook! my name is claire but others may have known me as something different, and my apologies if it causes confusion! the name i go by at this moment is claire, but feel free to call me the one you originally known me by and i greeted myself to you as xx

my pronouns are (she/they) please don’t feel obligated to use both! either is fine! some days though, i prefer one more over the other but i will always update on that each time!

i’ve been on writeblr for a few years now? a good while at least. i came and went often, but at this moment, i really want to dive right back in! most of the time i left was due to the fact i had no one to talk to, so with that being said, i would love and adore writer friends and just overall, friends in general!

here’s a few more things about me just for your noggin!

• eighteen years old

• neurodivergent

• INFJ + enneagram four

• cancer sun, gemini moon, leo rising<3

• from the US, planning on moving else where when i can provide more for myself alone

• fiction , fantasy , poetry, etc.

• my books tackle heavy and taboo topics that usually aren’t talked about enough in books without being glamorized/romanticized. i want to talk about the struggle, the healing, the relapses, and how even though you can’t love the illness away, you can love the person and can always have hope for a brighter future.

• i am balancing my creative writing and psychology majors all while going to work & doing cosmetology classes as well! yikes! am a very busy honeybee! but always attempt to make time for writing&reading when i can! xx

• favorite books include : song of achilles, punk 57, it ends with us, and lore!

i post a lot of writing tips/advice, memes, stuff about my own works/WIPs, art, quotes, etc! feel free to follow! i’ll follow back<3

i’d really appreciate any reblogs that can help me find other writeblrs to follow! (or you can leave any of your favs!)

THIS IS TOO FREAKING WHOLESOME I LOVE THIS

[sassyresacon1990]

nothing hits quite like the moment when you’re writing and you end your chapter/segment on such an insane sentence with a perfect match of impact and cliffhanger and you’re left sitting there like pacha from the emperors new groove when the sun hits that ridge just right 

[gaysidneycrosby]

look i get that sometimes characters dying is like good for the story or whatever but consider. i want them all to be alive and have family dinners together. check and mate

[archivezinc]

i love thinking about my little fictional guy i understand him like no one else can

Bitches stare at a blank word document for 2 hours and be like "I'm a writer." It's me. I'm bitches.

[writing-and-nutmeg]

Reader: Omg I can’t wait for the next chapter!!

Me, the writer, slowly closing my blank word doc:

did it hurt? when the little people inside your head refused to follow your carefully-plotted novel outline?

[thewriterswitch]

Every writing advice ever: If you’re having trouble with a scene, skip it and write a different part of the story.

Me: If I don’t write in chronological order, I will die

When I write three sentences on my WIP:

[hannahs-kudos-moving-deactivate]

Don’t forget that writing doesn’t have to be all you do.

You can have a passion and think about, do, other things.

It’s okay to love writing and also want to draw. Or paint. Or learn an instrument. Or start a YouTube channel.

Hell, you can even be passionate about these other things. You are allowed to have more than one dimension when it comes to your joys and passions and that doesn’t make you any less of a writer or love writing any less. It’s okay.

[the-writers-bookshelf]

Be gentle with your WIP. It is growing. It is expanding. It is contracting. It is transforming. Sometimes it will take a shape that doesn’t look or feel right to you but it’s only one of many shifts as it gradually takes on the form it’s supposed to be.

Touches Ask Game

Prompts for writing human connection, intimacy, belonging.

Hand-holding

The purest form of human connection.

tiny hands in big hands

calloused hands in soft hands

cold hands in warm hands

hands with the perfect ratio to each other for hand-holding

platonic hand-holding

running their thumb over the other’s hand

dancing with their hands holding onto each other

squeezing hand for comfort and encouragement

holding hands across the table

happily doing everything with just one hand, if it means they don’t have to let go

not wanting to lose each other in a big crowd

possessive hand-holding

linking hands together during sex

grabbing hand to show them something

loosely holding onto each other’s hands, laying in one’s lap

only linking the pinkies together, not ready to let go completely

holding hands while skating

excitedly grabbing each other’s hands during a concert, jumping up and down together

playing with each other’s fingers

pressing the other’s hand against their cheek

holding hands while one is balancing on a small wall

grabbing the other’s hand to pull them back from something

holding hands under the table

only realizing it when they have to let go

standing in front of each other, holding both their hands

holding their hands above their head, fingers linked together

passionate hand-holding

grabbing the other’s hand so they don’t fall

holding hands while running through the rain

brushing against each other, linking fingers together for a second

grabbing their hand to grab their attention

not really paying attention, both doing something else, but still holding hands

bandaging the other’s hand and not quite letting go

holding hands while driving

grabbing the other’s hand to pull them back to them

unconsciously searching out each other’s hand while sleeping

not realizing they’re holding hands till someone points it out

swinging hands back and forth, skipping like children

holding hands in a museum to pull them to the next exhibition

letting go when there is an obstacle in their way and immediately grabbing each other’s hand again when they pass it

loosely holding onto each other’s hand

dragging the other with them, holding their hand

raising the other’s hand to their lips to kiss it softly

holding hands while jumping down from somewhere together

comparing hand sizes, then linking fingers together

stroking their leg

leaning into the other’s side

patting them on the back

sitting close and knees touching

braiding the other’s hair

giving them a piggy-back ride

sitting on the other’s lap

feeling their temperature

dancing with each other

holding onto the other’s shoulders for support

putting a hand over the other’s mouth to shut them up

folks, someday you are gonna be writing, and you're gonna put something on paper and hear a voice say "i know this is what you want, but will people like it?" and im here to tell you that is the DEVIL talking and you do whatever you damn well please

[copperbadge]

If fandom has taught me anything it has also taught me that there are at least five people in the world who will want it regardless of what it is, and they will find you.

[concerningwolves]

Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.

[concerningwolves]

This post routinely gets notes and every time it peaks again, I get the urge to mute the notifs because of the amount of people being sanctimonious condescending arses. But then there’s also all the people who thank me, or who say how much they needed to read this, or who get enthusiastic and start rambling because they’ve got fresh motivation and it’s so heartwarming. yes, you go you funky little writers! be free!!

bites you and infects you with a incurable disease that makes you finish all your wips

[thoriffix]

liking a character but lacking the brainpower to have any real coherent thought or clever analysis of them so your brain just kind of says their name over and over like a teen girl in a cheesy romance writing her crushes name over and over in glittery gel pen surrounded by hearts
