✨Moon's Writeblr Reintroduction✨

Hello to all my fellow writing nerds, new and old! Thank you for checking out my updated writeblr reintroduction post. I've had this blog for five plus years and am long overdue for a post explaining who I am, what I create, and why I write. I'm hoping to interact with more writers on here so we can all make the writeblr community a more welcoming place. If you're an active writing blog, I'd really appreciate it if you could like or reblog this so I can follow you and we can screech into the void together and gush about all our favorite WIPS and characters! 🌱

A Little About Me

Heya, my name is Moon, a queer writer in her early thirties who's dedicated to bringing the stories in her chaotic brain to life. I’m a lover, a dreamer, and a creative writer enthusiast with severe ADHD (parenthesis galore). I love storytelling in all of its mediums, so you can usually find me reading, writing, worldbuilding, character building, or doing an unnecessary amount of research or psychoanalysis for my characters. Being a writer with ADHD has a massive amount of challenges, but one thing I loooooove about it is hyperfixating on certain details that really breathe life into my creations. ༄˖°.🍃.ೃ࿔*:･

Why Do I Write?

I write for many reasons, the biggest one being for myself. I love weaving stories using words because it's fun, challenging, therapeutic, and personally meaningful to me. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting at my desk while cackling like a madwoman as I type out some intense, dramatic scene that I know my readers will go nuts over. That feeling is only second to the absolute joy/writer's high I get when people tell me they've connected with my stories or characters. 🌿

How Do I Get Inspired?

I'm inspired by many types of storytelling mediums: art, music, film, literature, mythology, video games, animation, you name it. My writing comes from an intimate place and is motivated by my dreams, passions, and overall life experiences. I want my stories to mean something, and in turn, I want to share that 'something' with the world. For me, writing is about personal fulfillment, creative expression, and connectivity in all its forms. Ultimately, my hope/inner desire is to nurture the same cycle of human to human connection (inspiration) that started my own writing journey in the first place. 🥹

Moon's Favorite Genre(s)

It's difficult to pin down what my favorite genres are (because I genuinely love so many of them) but if I had to narrow it down to two genres, it would definitely be romance and fantasy. I love romance and its many subgenres (dark romance, paranormal romance, fantasy romance), as well as fantasy and its various subgenres (high fantasy, modern fantasy, science fantasy). As a bisexual writer, every story I write has LGBT+ characters, relationships and themes, but I love reading and writing about all kinds of romance stories regardless of sexuality. Love is love, and I love love. 💚

My Absolute Favorite Tropes, Themes, and Content

exploring human relationships: platonic, familial, and romantic

enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, friends to lovers, strangers to lovers, lovers to enemies, friends to enemies, enemies to friends

sensuality, intimacy, slow burn, dark romance, spicy content

soulmates, souls bonds, magical ties, and mental links usually tied to villains (I love dramatic enemies to lovers w/ complex relationships)

angsty, whumpy, dark content exploring morally gray characters and the duality of man & human nature (inner light vs. inner darkness)

hurt/comfort stories that rip out your heart, chew it up in front of you, then spit it back into your chest cavity (always with HEAPS & HEAPS of satisfying comfort and emotional payoff after) ♡♡♡

identity, self-discovery, personal journeys, and character growth

experiencing, overcoming, and healing from indomitable trauma

defying fate and choosing your own path despite destiny's enigmatic design for the course of your life

very few stories I write have sad, unsatisfying endings (because I am a TOTAL sap and need my characters them to find peace), so expect that there will almost always be a light at the end of the tunnel. <3

Thank you so much for reading, and if any of the above sounds appealing to you, I'd really appreciate so much if you reblog or give me a follow so we can chat. Happy writing! 💕💕💕

When anger clouds our judgment, we often choose to hurt instead of love. However, if we can learn to channel that anger positively, we can unlock the path to prosperity. The next time you find yourself upset, take a moment to analyze the root cause of your anger. Once you've evaluated its source, consciously try to redirect that energy into something constructive and fulfilling. This could be anything that brings you joy, such as reading, writing, sketching, or engaging in any activity that truly makes you happy. By transforming your anger, you can foster well-being and growth. Choosing love over hatred isn't just a moral imperative; it's a pathway to profound prosperity. When we embrace love, we cultivate stronger connections, fostering a supportive network that enriches our lives in countless ways. Love fuels empathy and understanding, allowing us to navigate conflicts with grace and build bridges instead of walls. This positive emotional state reduces stress, improves mental and physical health, and opens us up to new possibilities and opportunities. Ultimately, a life rooted in love is a life abundant in joy, peace, and meaningful fulfillment, far surpassing any fleeting satisfaction that hatred might offer.

A few tips for new Tumblr users wanting to write here

Yo if you're here from Reddit or Twitter or some other site and just wanted to give this a shot you may have seen some blogs that are dedicated to writing headcanons or short fics or even original works for their own OCs and you may be thinking "hey I wanna give that a shot! I like to write!" then I have some tips to make it easier on you and people who see your content.

1. First off, if you're writing a pretty long piece the you should probably put it under a read more, it'll look like this on mobile

and this on desktop

or you can write :readmore: on a line by itself and press enter.

2. Now if you're gonna write for a whole bunch of different fandoms and you wanna make a master list then I suggest making an actual list with the fandoms you write for and then making more lists with the actual content as a you go along because you can only have 100 links in one post (I know that sounds like a lot but as someone who has around 300 Transformers things written trust me you fill up a post quicker than you expect, especially if you take requests from other people). The way I typically do it is like this

The first pic is the MASTER master list that lists everything I write for and when they're underlined like that it means they're links. The second pic is after clicking the G1 link, it's a separate post that has the actual fics and headcanon links. Note the 6/100 in the tags, this is how I keep up with how many things I've added. You can of course just use the numbers options from here

or just number them manually from your keyboard like I'm doing with this post. Adding links has no barring on what else you add to the post so you can add yourself some fancy header or divider pics if you want.

3. Adding links! Links can look like this https://www.tumblr.com/wingwaver/721887224846778368/test-post-for-reasons?source=share or like this https://wingwaver.tumblr.com/post/721887224846778368/test-post-for-reasons depending on whether you're linking from mobile or desktop/browser Just highlight the text you wanna add a link to and a the little chain will move to the end, click it and paste your url you want to link to and press add link, then press post/save draft/save (whatever the blue button says)

Now you've successfully linked a post to another post!

4. Tagging! To get your fics and headcanons seen to build an audience you usually wanna tag the stuff correctly. If you're posting a fic about Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney then you'll tag it with #Ace Attorney, #Miles Edgeworth, and #Phoenix Wright in the tags area. But it's also a good idea to mention if it's a ship or general fic in the tags too. If so then putting ship names and #Miles Edgeworth x Phoenix Wright and #Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright in the tags will help everyone know this is a ship fic. Tagging with characters or fandoms that aren't apart of the fic just clogs the tags for people looking for content of said characters and fandoms so it's very looked down on here and will likely get some of your stuff reported for spam so only use the relevant tags. Also tagging for triggers can be tricky here because of how fucky tumblr is but please don't tag censor tags. Tagging things like #a**** or #a*use or even #abu$e doesn't work here because people who have #abuse blacklisted will be able to see this content because it wasn't tagged properly. Also if you're writing for OCs or reader inserts it's common courtesy to tag those appropriately too. Someone looking for a reader insert may not want to read an OC and vice versa. Also many people filter those out so try to add tags like #x reader, #*fandom name* x reader, and #*character name* x reader for easier filtering. Also people cruise those tags too so it'll help people who fo want to read that content find your stuff!
