Day 3 of 100: Productivity Challenge || I listed some things to do today and tomorrow before the week ends. I also made reminders of the due dates I have for the coming week. So many reminders you need to keep in mind that you just have to write them down. 😪

So...

Late last night, Mr. E and I spoke over the phone. It shook me to the core. He was the first man, that helped me transition into adulthood. I will be forever grateful for the transition; however, him leaving did hurt me, but I have N. And N makes me so happy. He makes me smile. Laugh. Makes me feel beautiful. Wanted. Desired. Cared for. Adored. He apologizes when there is no need to. N is EVERYTHING I want in a boyfriend. Mr. E and I had something that did not last long, but it was great because it helped prepare me for the relationship I am in now. N is an amazing young man. When I think about N, it makes me smile. I love the way he kisses me. I love the way N holds me while we sleep together. I love making love to N. It is passionate and pleasurable (😘). N, if you ever get the chance to read this... I adore you. I am grateful to have you as a boyfriend and I am proud to be your girlfriend. I'm happy we are dating. I have many hopes for us. 😘 Mr. E... Thank you for helping me transition into adulthood. Thank you for preparing me for my first relationship. I found an amazing man and he gives me his heart, time and adornment. Meeting you, Mr. E is something I do not regret. I realized that I want a man who is decisive. I want a man who wants me. Thank you for making me realize that you are not the type of man I would want in my life. Lovely reader, has someone helped you transition into adulthood? Tell me your experience. XOXO Sofia

i absolutely adore concepts where the forest is alive, knowing it's home to different entities which may be benevolent or malevolent, where the trees are rooted and breathing and stand witness to everything transpiring, where you have to respectful of unknown mounds of dirt and hallowed tree barks because there's some who lives here, someone older, someone or something who existed before you were even a concept. knock, newcomer. perhaps the unseeable living here will forgive your trespassing.

what if instead of writing the actual wip i just write fun little AUs about it like oh idk a little mermaid AU

harinawa masterpost + navigation

Hello! This post is a one-stop shop (?) post of my short intro and links to my WIPs. Might be updated from time to time.

𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙚

Welcome to my Writeblr! Where I post memes and bellyache about my most favorite thing in the world, which is writing. My name is Sofia, 21+, she/her. I have another intro here (where I basically say the same thing) and I write mostly fantasy stories and some poetry on the side.

General Content Warnings: mentions of death (in WIPs, mostly), violence (towards non-existing entities), foul words. Will fight tooth and nail to keep this writeblr at least R-16. Capital letters more often than not as testament to my feelings, excessive use of colloquial vernacular expressions like 'korique' (literally correct, means agreement or acknowledgement of fact) and 'eme' (means just kidding, kidding, it's a joke).

Not Okay with homophobics, terfs, and general hate speech purveyors. I can respect preferences but I do not tolerate bullying and prejudice.

A-Okay with writing tag games (even if we have never interacted!!), receiving random asks about my WIP, or you sharing things and tidbits about your WIP.

I. Forsaken Gods - Infographic Intro - PPT Intro

↺ urban YA fantasy, based on philippine mythologies

Seventeen-year-old Aya de Luna is familiar with the world’s cruelty. With her father estranged and her mother dead, it takes more than street-smarts to feed herself and her fifteen-year-old sickly brother. That is, until she witnesses a murder and acquires a weapon only heard of in legends that leads to her brother’s kidnapping. In her mission to find him, Aya discovers a whole new world where the gods are as crazed as the monsters that live in it. Blood will be shed, secrets will be revealed, and all who seek power for themselves will be punished.

II. All the Devils are Here - PPT Intro

↺ YA middle fantasy, murder mystery, academia themes

The elusive Madam Quincy is said to have revolutionized education when she established the House of Royals-- a pillar of ambition, catered to train the world's next leaders. However, scandals and controversies rattle the House of Royals' reputation with heirs dropping dead like flies, and no one can tell who the murderer--or murderers--is. The deaths spark unrest among the kingdoms, and if the murders aren't solved soon, then the already precarious balance between two strong empires might be tipped--and the rest of the world along with it.

III. Dead Man Walking - PPT Intro

↺ NA fantasy, pirates and witches

Kosmos was once a great empire, split into three when power and greed forced men to rip the lands apart. Now three mighty kingdoms stand in its place, and yet remnants of the curses of the ancient empire still linger up to this day. The exiled heir to a powerful bloodline, Nyx Asteria wants nothing to do with curses and ancient empires. All she wants is to remove the seal burning on her back that forces her magic to feed on her own veins and carry on quietly as the handmaiden to the Duke’s Daughter. Just as she’s getting used to her new job and identity, she becomes an offering to the pirate captain of the Shadow. So Nyx does what she does best and bargains for her life, entering what is already a shaky agreement and turning it into a soul-binding contract. Never mind that she can’t even do magic without feeling like she’s dying. Never mind that she’s with a band of peculiar pirates, united by their own selfish goals. Never mind that their captain’s notoriety reaches the ends of worlds, bordering on legend at best and sounding like fabrications at worst. Nyx knew, though. The first time she saw him, she knew he was just a Dead Man Walking.

*clears throat* ahem

this is an open invitation to anyone seeing this to tell me about their wip in my inbox bc tumblr is being wonky and not showing me content. navigation pages are fine too. or u know... anything.

i crave content to consume pls bless me o writeblr gods amen

[harinawa]

so, writeblr, humor me:

we see a ton of writing advice here in this corner of tumblr, and i know we do take them with a grain of salt, but what advice do you wish you can follow but particularly have difficulty doing so?

let me start!

For me, I like the advice of "using your own voice into your writing". This was one of the first few pieces of advice I came across when I first started to write seriously, and I know it's more applicable when writing personal essays, but I feel like it's harder to apply on short stories or novels. It requires getting into your character's head and writing it down in a way that makes the voice theirs but also still yours. More so if you've decided to use third-person.

I for one particularly enjoy written works that have distinct voices and personalities, which is probably why I also want to emulate it in my writing.

The problem is that I think my personality itself is too boring (affectionately) to have its own voice. This dilemma is one of the many reasons why I often get stuck in chapters, because "the words aren't coming out right" or what-not.

So, if you have time, what's yours? Feel free to tell me in the replies / asks / reblogs!
