Some weeks ago I had the inspiration of trying to write a short story in a similar style (and in particular, the same vibe!) to WTNV, so I started writing down some ideas I had and then expanded one of them.

I'm not entirely happy with this (also because I had no clue on how to convey the tone used by the speaker), but I'm at least glad to have been able to write anything at all after a long time of not writing any short stories or drabbles!

TW: mentions of gore & body horror

First Line Tag

Tagged by @storyteller-shealie, thank you!

Rules: post the first line of a WiP and tag as many people as there are words in the quote

Actually this is the first line of a short scene I jotted down some time ago and that I was thinking to use it for another wip that I have in the backburner but on which I still won't work until I get to a good point with Beyond the Veil...but let's return to the line.

IT: "Si dice che bisogna sempre temere l’ira di un uomo buono."

ENG: "It is said that we must always fear the wrath of a good man."

But I won't tag 14 people, just some random ones because why not? And feel free to ignore this if you have already did this or don't want to do it! I tag: @kainablue, @writer-jessicac, @katekarl, @sancta-silje, @jess---writes, @elarasterling, @kira-desomma and eveyone not tagged that sees this and wants to do it~

First Line Tag - II

Thank you so much @dotr-rose-love for tagging me! I’m a bit late but I’m trying to get back on tracks!

RULES: post the first line of your story & tag as many people as there are words!

I’ve already posted the rough draft (or an earlier version) of the first part of the first chapter of Beyond the Veil, it was a scene I jotted down for Fictober 2018 Day 2 ...and in a previous First Line Tag I posted the very first line of the very first scene I jotted down for In the Pits of Hell, and since lately I haven’t been writing I’m trying hard to find something new for this.

So, here it is the first line of a short story I wrote and it’s in an endless loop of editing since then!

ITA: “Ricordo quel giorno come se fosse ieri. Era un pomeriggio primaverile piacevolmente caldo e il sole splendeva alto in cielo.”

ENG: “I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a nicely warm spring afternoon and the sun was shining bright high in the sky.”

Tagging: everyone who sees this and wants do to it, feel free to consider you tagged! :D

Searching for other writeblrs to follow, I think

Yeah, I should be sleeping right now (it's 1.45 am) instead of blinding myself with the light of the phone while writing this... But I was thinking about how I could actually start this blog.

Like... I already made my introduction post and reblogged some things. And now? Go straight with some excerpts? Or something about my OCs? Or something about books, worldbuilding, rants about writing, whatever?

So, I thought that it would be nice following some other writeblrs that are out there!

About me: over 20; writing mostly fantasy and sci-fi, but also whatever comes into my mind; I usually read horror, fantasy and sci-fi but if your plot or your writing style gets me hooked on reading I could read mostly everything; here I'll most likely post writing-related things with some random nice things in between.

Aaand that's all. Like or reblog and tomorrow I'll check your blog, now I'm really going to sleep.

Who’s adding the Italian version the morning after writing this? Me. Check under the cut!

I was walking the dog and I started thinking about my wips.

The urban fantasy one in particular, since is the one where the plot is almost completely absent and where I have more "free space" for working on it.

I have al lot of ideas for the characters and creatures and whatnot, but no idea for the plot. Like... nothing that I like.

I thought something on the lines of characters fighting the big bad evil things, but it feels a bit overused to me.

Do you think that I could go for something like "protagonist discovers supernatural beings in his town and starts living random 'adventures' here and there"? Or it's something too silly/boring/meh?

I know that I want to write about those characters but I don't know how.

I'm open for hints and advices for it.

Ero a passeggio con il cane e ho iniziato a pensare ai miei work in progress.

All'urban fantasy in particolare, siccome è quello dove la trama è quasi completamente assente e dove ho più "spazio libero" per lavorarci su.

Ho un sacco di idee per i personaggi, creature e quant'altro, ma nessuna idea per la trama. Tipo... niente che mi piaccia.

Ho pensato a qualcosa sulle righe dei personaggi che affrontano le grandi grosse cose cattive, ma sa di troppo usato secondo me.

Pensate che potrei andare per qualcosa tipo "protagonista scopre esseri soprannaturali nella sua città e inizia a vivere 'avventure' qua e là"? O è qualcosa di troppo sciocco/noioso/meh?

So che voglio scrivere di quei personaggi, ma non so come.

Sono aperto a suggerimenti e consigli.

I might have dug out Zane from my old novel project to write down a prompt reply on Reddit (r/WritingPrompts)... so, here it is!

I hope my tiredness from 12hr shift & buggy bluetooth keyboard didn't make too much of a mess!

BTW Grey and Red are placeholder names for Zane and Luciel, as I didn't want to put their names on Reddit LMAO

[WP] "So I get three wishes, but I can’t wish for things that are restricted by the rules?" I asked the genie. "That’s correct," it said. "Okay… but what if I stack two wishes together to overpower the rules and if not, can all three work?"

The genie was staring at the human with their absurdly bright blue eyes – a stark contrast against the greyish skintone and wisps of smoke that made up the lower part of their body - arms crossed. Brows set in a slight scowl and jaw set. They looked clearly annoyed by the current situation they found themself in. All their own fault: if they didn’t anger a being more powerful than them, Grey wouldn’t have been stuck into a damn vase, requiring external help to get out.

And of course, every damn human would ask for the three wishes thing. A very old millennia fad — many other genies agreeded — but what you can do about it? Ugh-

“So” the human said, “I get three wishes, but I can’t wish for things that are restricted by the rules you told me… right?”

Duh.

The genie had to force themself to not roll their eyes. “That’s correct. Three wishes, all fitting those rules.” they deadpanned.

The human frowned slightly, taking his chin in a hand, gaze moving to somewhere not really clear.

The genie could hear the cogs in the human’s brain struggling to grasp the concept. That dude didn’t really look like the sharpest tool in the shed… and of course they had to get someone like him as ‘saviour’.

Double ugh-

They were starting to wonder if they had been also cursed, and not only trapped, when the human spoke again

“Okay… but if I stack two wishes together to overpower the rules and if not, can all three work?”

One eye of the genie twiched. Gods, probably being still stuck in that stinky vase could have been a better situation than the current one.

Anything was better than having to deal with humans and their Pindaric flights trying to — how did Red call it? 'Wish-maxxing'? — to exploit the wishes at their maximum.

Grey couldn’t refrain from letting out a sigh and rub their hand over their face. This is why they preferred to be the one being owed something.

Another sigh, pinching the root of their nose between their fingers. “Babygirl, that’s not how wishes work,” their tone was harsher now. “You do not need to break the rules for asking whatever shit you could possibly want.” They suddenly straightened their back, looming over the human “Unless you are specifically trying to interfere with matters of life, death, free will, alter the timeline or the planes of existence” a pause “are you?”

The human shifted his posture, as if to try to shrink away from the genie.

Those unnatural blue eyes were now narrowed and fixed on him as if trying to bore holes in his skull.

“You are! You little vermin!” Grey exclaimed, their voice now loud like stones rolling down the side of a mountain.

The human jolted, stumbling a couple of steps back, hands clasped, blathering excuses and pleading for mercy.

But the genie's scowl surprisingly turned in a too wide smile.

“Oh, my!” they exclaimed, wisps of greyish smoke now wrapping around the human’s body, like a python curling around their prey.

“I like the sound of that” Grey continued “But-” they rubbed the thumb over index and middle finger “Breaking the rules will cost you.”

Finally. Some good ol’ rulebreaking and some fool ending up owing them more than what they bargained for.

That moment when you decide to read something, but then you notice that you have too many unread books and you don't know which one to choose.

Writeblr Introduction

Hello to everyone! I’m a new blog that wants to become part of the whole writeblr community here...and I’m not really sure about what to write in an introduction post. So...uh...I’ll try to put together something.

I go for the pen name M. B. Corvo, (but you can call me Corvo or Crow), and I’m an Italian aspiring writer. I’m quite new in the community here even if before deciding to start this blog I followed some writing-themed blogs like prompt blogs/writing advice blogs and eyed some nice writeblrs with another account that I mostly use for shitposting and ranting and fandom things.

After a long thought, I decided that I could try making a writeblr and seeing if it could help me to get over my long-lasting writer’s block that is ruining all my ongoing projects: I have a lot of ideas for plots and characters, but I always end up looking at a blank page or setting everything aside.

I always loved writing. I started writing some crappy and ugly fanfictions during middle school and then during high school, I started writing something that was really my own...even if it was cringe-y and full of errors. But I loved it when I was writing it. As the years were passing - even with the block - I found myself really enjoying the worldbuilding part of my works in progress. Maybe because I always loved studying for the things I liked, I think.

I also always loved reading. I started with fantasy and horror stuff, mostly from the Goosebumps series, and growing up I also enjoyed some historical stuff, and also some “classics” that I hated when I had to study them during literature at school. I used to read a lot of books, but in the last years I had switched to comics/mangas and I’m returning to read books since last year. But I always preferred books to comics, though.

So, mostly because of my taste in reading, my main genres when I write are fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. But I can also write outside of these genres if I have the right inspiration!

I usually write in Italian since it’s my native language and I use it on daily basis but in this blog, I’ll share excerpts also in English because I’d like to improve my skill...I’m fluent enough to read an English book, but not enough fluent to write even a short story. So, I’ll use this blog as an exercise hoping for some feedback. :)

Thank you for reading ‘til the end! :D

Italian vrs. under the crow!
