You know that feeling when your writing sounds perfect in your head…

…but when you read it later, something just feels off?

Sometimes it’s not a big problem. Just a line that needs softening, a reaction that feels a bit too quick, or a moment that needs more space.

Most writers go through this.

If you’d like someone to read your chapters and point out those little things, you can message me. I’m always glad to help.

Writers....

You ever finish writing, close your doc… then open it again a few minutes later?

And suddenly you’re not reading it the same way anymore.

A line that felt strong now feels off. The emotion doesn’t hit like it did before. A character’s reaction feels slightly wrong… and you can’t ignore it.

That shift? That’s where your mistakes start showing themselves.

Every writer has that moment. The difference is who admits it.

If this happened to you today, don’t scroll past this.

Say something. Or message me if you want someone else to catch what you might be missing.

WORLDBUILDING THROUGH CULTURE

Writing a Secondary World book or series, and need some help constructing your setting?

Worldbuilding is more than just maps!

Creating a believable secondary world, with consistent internal logic, language, taboos, and politics can be tricky.

Luckily, this workbook is here to help you devise the best possible setting for your #SFF story.

Based on a lecture series I used to do one be before the pandemic, this is a workbook that's really meant and designed to WORK.

Write in it, paste in pictures, doodle, add extra notes or change your mind and erase things!

Hey, everyone!

My name is Ley (she/they) and I'm a fiction writer/editor based in the PNW. I've been off Tumblr for a few years, but I found myself missing the writing communities I was a part of. I'm excited for the chance to find more people who share my interests!

About Me:

I have a BA in English with a minor in Creative Writing

I identify as queer

I write mostly SFF, but I like genre-hopping and fanfic

I'm a Libra sun, Aquarius moon, Pisces rising

I can feel my neurodivergency in my bones but I don’t yet have a dx on paper

I'd really like to connect with other writers like myself, who got their start in fandom spaces and are working to take their writing from a hobby into a career.

I'll mostly be talking about creative writing on my blog, whether that's talking craft and sharing writing advice or posting my own work. I like to describe my style as "character-forward," which is just a fancy way of saying that I like disgruntled protagonists that think too much.

I'm also absolute fandom trash, so you'll likely see me engaging with a lot of that, too. I wish I could say I’ll be chill about it, but I’ve unfortunately never been chill about anything in my life.

I am always so, so excited to talk about other people's writing projects, so feel free to drop an ask anytime to tell me about your work! I also love to talk way too much about my other interests, so definitely hit me up if you think we have something else cool in common.

My Socials:

tiktok

instagram

my website

I look forward to getting to know you!

Something I tend to forget in my writing is to make this absolutely 100% clear for readers. Character traits, elements of foreshadowing, what things look like, backstories, etc., may all seem really clear to us once we’ve given them a sentence or two because we already know those things. But make sure you’re giving your readers reminders, because they can’t be in your head. It’s your job to make them feel like they are.

Slide A: That face you make when you 87k+ words deep and haven't hit your half way point... Slide B: The face you make when your really like what's going on in the plot you may...or may not have lost control of. 😜 Everybody think writing is some laid back process. I thought that too. Sometimes writing is putting down plot rebellions from figments of your imagination because they wanna live their best life...😓 Holla if you hear me 🤣 #sffortheculture #wahidaclark #author #authorlife #writingcommunity #blackauthors #blerd #amwritingscifi #amwritingfantasy #WIP #fantasyauthors #writerscommunity (at Bridgeport, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRDAFh_gOvK/?utm_medium=tumblr
