Hello! My name is MT (she/her) and this is my writeblr!
I write speculative fiction with a bent towards horror and the strange, though I love experimenting with other genres every so often.
My themes and topics tends towards the fantastical and the existential. Monsters, mysteries, and histories are my bread and butter with dashes of "humor." The quotations are an urge to take that assertion with a grain of salt.
Other things that often crop up in relation to writing is my love of music, science, and nature (especially plants, birds, and mycology)

Hi, I'm Lee Brontide (any pronouns but "it"). I'm queer, middle aged, midwestern (in the US), and have a variety of disabilities. I'm also a therapist, but I'm pretty specific in how I allow that to show up in online spaces. (please don't ask for therapy in my DMs).
I have a once a month newsletter called Shed Letters.
I'm on tumblr to dink around, meet other writers, find readers, share my animation attempts, and show off my cats.
I read pretty much anything scifi or fantasy, but am especially interested in finding more scifi writeblrs. Especially YA scifi writers. There must be others, right?
My work is about
queerness
trauma
medical trauma especially
disability
interpersonal dynamics
systems/power
disaster teens trying really hard
And taking genre conventions far too seriously
I've got one book out now called Secondhand Origin Stories, which is character-driven, low-neon, near-future cyberpunk scifi with a superhero twist. My WIP, Names in Their Blood, is in edits now and will be going to beta reading soon!
Which means I'm also going to get to work on the as yet untitled novella that goes between book 1 and book 2 in the series soon. It's from the point of view of an AI building management/security system/medical information database, who decides that they want a more portable body so they can follow their family on the next family trip, and explores the process of choosing a new physical form.
I am ask and tag game friendly, and for now at least, my DMs are open! But I work on a major delay because life.
I'm looking for writeblrs who write any or all of:
queer stuff
character driven scifi
psychological exploration
found family
messy family
YA or NA
Things that remind me of: DS9, tlt, murderbot, Leverage, The Disasters, or AtLA
I'M TRYING AGAIN BECAUSE THE OLD ONE IS SOMEHOW OUTDATED AGAIN LMFAO

Hello Writerblr, we finally meet! I realize I’ve had this blog for what feels like a century and I haven’t introduced myself.
You can call me KT! Here’s a bit about me:

Writing experience:

What You Can Expect From random-writing-run-ons:
Reblogs of writing prompts, supporting other writeblrs
Excerpts of current projects, insight into what inspires me
My goals: Be more open about my creative projects, gain insight from others about their writing, and eventually publish something!
My name is Tori Morningstar, or rather, my alias is! Real name is Megan. I’m an aspiring author, who works full time and attends college full time. However, I still always find time to write!
Writing has been my passion for a really long time. I got into it when I was younger, when my teacher actually put together my first little book in third grade. It was amazing!! Since then, I’ve been working on my skill. I have beaten Nanowrimo twice and have had an honorable mention in the WV Young writers program.
However, I have never once really bothered to try and get published. Now, I’m ready to do that! I write short stories at this time, mostly to jot down ideas and put jumbled thoughts together. However, I do enjoy writing for others!
This is my first time doing a proper writeblr, so I hope you guys will enjoy seeing me and having me around!
