✨Moon's Writeblr Reintroduction✨
Hello to all my fellow writing nerds, new and old! Thank you for checking out my updated writeblr reintroduction post. I've had this blog for five plus years and am long overdue for a post explaining who I am, what I create, and why I write. I'm hoping to interact with more writers on here so we can all make the writeblr community a more welcoming place. If you're an active writing blog, I'd really appreciate it if you could like or reblog this so I can follow you and we can screech into the void together and gush about all our favorite WIPS and characters! 🌱
A Little About Me
Heya, my name is Moon, a queer writer in her early thirties who's dedicated to bringing the stories in her chaotic brain to life. I’m a lover, a dreamer, and a creative writer enthusiast with severe ADHD (parenthesis galore). I love storytelling in all of its mediums, so you can usually find me reading, writing, worldbuilding, character building, or doing an unnecessary amount of research or psychoanalysis for my characters. Being a writer with ADHD has a massive amount of challenges, but one thing I loooooove about it is hyperfixating on certain details that really breathe life into my creations. ༄˖°.🍃.ೃ࿔*:･
Why Do I Write?
I write for many reasons, the biggest one being for myself. I love weaving stories using words because it's fun, challenging, therapeutic, and personally meaningful to me. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting at my desk while cackling like a madwoman as I type out some intense, dramatic scene that I know my readers will go nuts over. That feeling is only second to the absolute joy/writer's high I get when people tell me they've connected with my stories or characters. 🌿
How Do I Get Inspired?
I'm inspired by many types of storytelling mediums: art, music, film, literature, mythology, video games, animation, you name it. My writing comes from an intimate place and is motivated by my dreams, passions, and overall life experiences. I want my stories to mean something, and in turn, I want to share that 'something' with the world. For me, writing is about personal fulfillment, creative expression, and connectivity in all its forms. Ultimately, my hope/inner desire is to nurture the same cycle of human to human connection (inspiration) that started my own writing journey in the first place. 🥹
Moon's Favorite Genre(s)
It's difficult to pin down what my favorite genres are (because I genuinely love so many of them) but if I had to narrow it down to two genres, it would definitely be romance and fantasy. I love romance and its many subgenres (dark romance, paranormal romance, fantasy romance), as well as fantasy and its various subgenres (high fantasy, modern fantasy, science fantasy). As a bisexual writer, every story I write has LGBT+ characters, relationships and themes, but I love reading and writing about all kinds of romance stories regardless of sexuality. Love is love, and I love love. 💚
My Absolute Favorite Tropes, Themes, and Content
exploring human relationships: platonic, familial, and romantic
enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, friends to lovers, strangers to lovers, lovers to enemies, friends to enemies, enemies to friends
sensuality, intimacy, slow burn, dark romance, spicy content
soulmates, souls bonds, magical ties, and mental links usually tied to villains (I love dramatic enemies to lovers w/ complex relationships)
angsty, whumpy, dark content exploring morally gray characters and the duality of man & human nature (inner light vs. inner darkness)
hurt/comfort stories that rip out your heart, chew it up in front of you, then spit it back into your chest cavity (always with HEAPS & HEAPS of satisfying comfort and emotional payoff after) ♡♡♡
identity, self-discovery, personal journeys, and character growth
experiencing, overcoming, and healing from indomitable trauma
defying fate and choosing your own path despite destiny's enigmatic design for the course of your life
very few stories I write have sad, unsatisfying endings (because I am a TOTAL sap and need my characters them to find peace), so expect that there will almost always be a light at the end of the tunnel. <3
Thank you so much for reading, and if any of the above sounds appealing to you, I'd really appreciate so much if you reblog or give me a follow so we can chat. Happy writing! 💕💕💕
