introductions
Hello everyone! You can call me Wren or Crow, and my pronouns are ey/em or they/them. I'm your local nonbinary lesbian writer and I'm here to have some fun. And also to write ungodly long posts because apparently I ramble too much! Anyway. On to the important stuff.
Writing Stuff:
I've been a writeblr before!! Not for very long, and I dropped off the face of the earth about a year ago because I have no follow-through, but if anything around here sounds vaguely familiar, that's why.
I write mostly fantasy, because I love magic and cool names and worldbuilding too much to do anything else. Sometimes I dabble in sci-fi.
I've done NaNoWriMo 2019 and 2020, and both Camp events for 2020, but only gotten 50k once.
My record for words in a month is 100k (NaNo 2020), and in a day something like 11.5k (also NaNo 2020. That was A Time).
I'm either write stories with almost no plan at all or with every chapter outlined. Anything in between never seems to work out. Does that make me a plantser?
Chronic underwriter when it comes to novels, chronic overwriter when it comes to anything else (text walls incoming. Prepare yourselves).
Sometimes I write poetry! And by sometimes I mean, like, twice a year.
Oh, yeah, I'm trying to write 500,000 words this year! (Or, from November 1st to October 31st). It's going....okay?
My Current WIPs:
(In order of priority)
Other Lost Things: Six kids end up on a boat, running from the law and their various dark pasts. Some of them have magic (which, spoiler alert, is illegal) and some of them don't, some of them are friends and some of them are strangers and some of them are friends-turned-strangers. It's about humanity and morality and the blurry lines where they end. Also, it's gay. And a second draft full-rewrite, yay!
Little Pieces: It's a bit about assassins and a bit about found families and a bit about princesses and a bit about soulmates, when I remember those exist in this world. It's one of the WIPs I don't really have a plan for, but I'm pretty sure there's no magic aside from the soulmate thing.
Saybliye: Actually, the full working title is shadows at your back and light in your eyes, all lowercase for the Aesthetic, but I pretty much exclusively call it saybliye. Anyway. It's a story I'm cowriting with the wonderful amazing @writer-bird, and it's about a world split in two. There's a magic tracker on the tech side of the world and a rogue magic user ex-rebel and they should be enemies, but maybe they don't have to be. (I write the tech side POVs!).
Between Worlds: *cringes* Okay, I have to put this here because come June it's becoming top priority, but it's kind of an unreadable, non-chronological mess that needs to be almost totally scrapped, so. But it's about magic forests and prophesied Chosen Ones and lots of other somewhat cliché but really fun things. Also, there is an ancient, lost, sentient magic library. And a fox with wings.
SOS: Okay, this is my Super Duper Top Secret April WIP, so I can't say anything about it just yet, but it's here, it's queer, and it's set in a world I am very very excited to talk about, because it's cool.
Other Fun Stuff:
I have some pretty cool writer friends! You should possibly go check out @writes-about-gays-and-dragons, @rangerlexi-writes, @writer-bird, @writehanded, @writingbasil, @maybeawhumpblog, @starsappearinglikepaintsplatters, and @writingaroundtheclark. (Why some of those urls aren't linking, I have no idea. Whoops?)
Also, I need some writeblrs to follow! So anyone who likes or reblogs this post will get a follow!
