Being a writer is so exhausting.

You have to write a coherent plot that makes sense, but also have a fleshed out world with compelling characters. And you need to write descriptions that help the reader visualize your words but also not overly describe where it limits imagination or just drags the story down. And you have to engage your readers immediately and consistently so they don't put the book down. But also you need to give them time to breathe and not overload them with everything.

Last Line Tag

Thank you to @sunset-a-story for the tag!

Here’s the last line I wrote in the scene I’m revising in Ink of Destruction:

Adjusting his grip upon the sword, he made his way to its box, and carefully placed it back inside.

We love some mundane description 😂 And swords. Swords are badass.

Tagging, with no pressure: @kaylinalexanderbooks @meerawrites and anyone else who wants to play.

Writblr Intro

Hi, everyone! I’m Koala 🐨

I’m a YA fantasy writer, and all my stories are set in my own world full of magic, monsters, and lots of interesting characters!

My first novel, the first of a trilogy, is finished and currently being queried! Wish me luck in this trying time 😆 🍀 Book two is almost complete, and Book 3 is off to a lovely beginning. This trilogy is all about the balancing act of trying to make the people important to you proud while also staying true to yourself and finding your own path.

I can’t only have one project, though, so I’ve got several other stories running through my mind. The one that’s trying to catch my attention the most is a story of a lesbian pirate who is on an epic adventure to save her Bonny Lass…

About Me:

I’m a big player of tabletop RPGs… World of Darkness and D&D being my top picks, thought it’s been a loooooong time since I slipped into the WoD… making up characters is one of my favorite passtimes

I love pirates, the ocean, fantasy, and being part of the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈

My fandoms are Supernatural, LoTR, The Sandman, The Owl House, Firefly, and my guilty pleasure of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Favorite Authors include Neil Gaiman, Dan Abnet, Tolkien, Suzanne Collins…

I would love to meet other writers here, so don’t be shy to stop by and say hi! 😁

My Writeblr Intro

Hey, I'm Emmie. I'm 32 and live in the Pacific Northwest. I've been into writing for as long as I can remember. I have ADHD so it's been a challenge to actually finish what I start. I work in a library and I'm in college studying archaeology.

I read horror, fantasy, YA, and the occasional romance (the trashier, the better). I write horror, fantasy, and YA. I always hand-write my stories first, and then type them up. I'm on Kindle Vella, Wattpad, Inkspired, Fictionate, and Neovel, and I have a profile on NaNoWriMo. This blog is my writing blog; my main is GothKrispies.

I recently decided to get more serious about my writing since the sites I post my writing have monetization opportunities, and I'd like to bring in a little extra cash from my writing.

LOOKING FOR A WRITING GROUP

Hello all. I am looking for a writing group. I am writing an action fantasy story trying for some high anime action and DnD logic stuff. I am doing this as preparation for a comic (and the comic is a cheap alternative to an animated series). So, I need people that love plot, character, and story, but will be patient with me as I spell check myself. I am 39 years old, but still write like a teenager. Do message me if you know a good group for this.

~Writeblr Introduction~

So, I'm not good at introductions. However, I've done this before, so maybe it'll be easier now.

Hi, I'm an aspiring writer who wants nothing more than the world to have a favorite character who actually looks like them. Being an introvert; I usually write stories about loneliness, isolation, anxiety and longing. My usual genres are YA, Romance, Fantasy, Supernatural, Adventure, and recently I'm getting into Comedy, Sci-fi, and Satire.

I try and make my stories very inclusive. I showcase my characters in a way where they're not liked for their ethnicity, but you like them and they just so happen to be a POC.

I'm also teaching myself to draw.

I wouldn't say I have WIPs when most my stories have more the 30k+ words, but I'll tell you all about a few I'm working on.

A little BG before that, just so there's no confusion. I have a very big universe I've built where I follow my one MC, Cassie, through several different reincarnation stories.

The Demonic Repentance

Genre: YA, Romance, & Supernatural

Akuma is a Demon tasked with fixing Hell after the ruler ruins it with his selfish desires. Having no other choice, he goes outside of Hell in order to find a solution. Instead of a solution he finds an Angel.

This is probably the most edited and actually finished stories of mine.

A Collection of Short Stories: Quiet Girl

Genre: Comedy

When it comes to talking, Cassie finds it to be too much work and opts to think instead. Plus, with ten guys who never leave her alone, it is just a bit better to stay quiet and leave a good impression.

Cassie ventures through her twenties as she tries to live through adulthood while also trying to keep her heart beating every time she sees someone she likes.

This is a Harem story that's more crude than it is overtly sexual. Just adult jokes more than anything.

The Makings of a Love Story

Genre: YA & Romance

After dealing with her first break up, Cassie struggles to return to herself, leaving herself open to yet another relationship much too soon. However, this new relationship isn't anything like her pervious one and has the chance to be better for her, if she learns from the past.

I'm currently having writer's block with this one.

Kingdom of Bumalia

Genre: Fantasy & Romance

The turbulent history of a long lost kingdom. The True Blood within the family is untouched by Lower Blood, until one prince is born. He wants nothing more than his kingdom to prosper and takes a risk unlike his ancestors.

I'm reworking this, so I technically finished this years ago, but it's horribly written by my standards now, lol.

A Fourth Dimension Reality

Genre: YA, Comedy, Satire, & Sci-fi

What happens when you live somewhere you don't belong? Those feelings of being alone and thinking you're the odd one out are over with when you realize you do belong on Earth.

However, Larson and Cassie don't. Being from another dimension is the tie that keeps them together while navigating the strange reality they were stuck in.

This is by far my favorite story, I've written close to 100k words and I'm not sure when I'm gonna actually end it.

I have lots of other stories that are nearly done, but I dislike writing endings because 1. I suck at them and 2. That would mean ending my story and that's such a hard pill to swallow.

That's it from me, I'd love to hear from any of you. I'm pretty easy going and accept almost everyone. So don't be like me and be shy, interact and maybe we could be friends!

A rainy day here in Florida. My dog is snoring on the couch, the coffee maker grumbles on the counter, and my roommate just turned on a chill vibes playlist on Spotify.

We ride, we vibe 🤘🏾

WRITERS WHO ARE ALSO SWIFTIES!

Do you ever like write a line of either narration or dialogue and just realise as you're writing it that it makes the character it's about incredibly coded to a Taylor Swift and your reaction is just like??? well that was a coinquidink? wow I just did that???

cause I made the bff™ just say to the mc "you have the crush of the century on her, by the way. it's like all over your face" and my first thought was "WHEN EMMA FALLS IN LOVE IS THAT YOU???"

and now my MC is officially wefil coded. I don't wanna hear about it, the bff™ SAID IT HIMSELF.

Idk, just wanted to know if I'm weird or if that happens to other swiftie authors too.

byee

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

#yes i'm just going to come out and say it i'm talking about sera #not exclusively but i am talking about her #'but her writer actually iS A--' you don't know that! it doesn't matter! and i don't care!#just say that you do not like the character.#people will reblog posts about the latest actor or YA author or whatever getting forced out of the closet and be like #'wow. :( that's terrible.'#and then GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING IT #when are we going to learn #when are we going to stop doing this BEFORE somebody is forcibly outed #because in practical terms #that means you have to be okay with queer characters being written by straight people.#you have to stop weaponizing that against writers you don't like.#you have to be willing to critique the writing on its own merits #without using the writer's (assumed) identity to prop up your arguments #that's how it works #but who wants to actually change the way they talk about media #when tearing apart people's identities for clout is far more entertaining.#gwaren exports #fandom problems #fandom critical
