Writeblr (Re)Introduction
I’m Haya (she/her) and I’m 28.
I’ve been writing ever since I was 8 years and, after years of writing very bad crossover fanfictions, I decided to shift my attention to original stories.
I’m Italian and I mainly write in that language, but sometimes I write in English or I translate my works.
Feel free to hit me up to talk about writing, I always love doing that!
A fantasy story set in a world where stars are sentient beings and hunted for their feathers. A star falls on the ground after being struck by the spear of a hunter, and forges an unlikely friendship with a human in an attempt to meet with the Star Menders that will help him return home.
Status: On going! The final draft is almost complete.
Magicians of Sky and Sea (on hiatus).
A fantasy trilogy about a group of magic students attempting their exam to become full-fledged Magicians! The exam involves going in another world and forging pacts with the Great Spirits that reside there, but things are not so easy, especially when self-doubts arise…
Status: Currently on hiatus. You can find more information about it here.
Some writing facts about me:
- I mainly write fantasy, but I like writing other genres too.
- Except for romance: for some reason I can’t really get into it.
- I love worldbuilding! I especially like creating cultures. I really suck on the political side of things, though.
- I take a “world first - story later” approach to worldbuilding and writing!
- I love writing about hugs.
- I can’t seem to have enough avian-based races in my worlds.
Current avian bird races count: six.
- I’m a plantser. I usually start writing with only a very loose plotline (I usually only have the beginning and the ending in mind), and let the story and the world develop by themselves.
- I also love my characters. They’re my babies. I’m one of those people who talks to their characters and they like acting on their own during stories. Usually they always end up improving scenes so I let them.
- I still have much to learn, but I really love writing so I never get tired of it.
