(This will be constantly updated!)

About Me:

My name is Claire but you can call me Eri or Echo! I go by they/them pronouns (also found in my bio). I'm an 18 year old based in the United States.

Since I was young, art and writing have played a major role in my life. Hense, it has been a passion of mine that I'm endlessly turning back to. I'm currently studying creative writing, book publishing, and graphic design online; later hoping to study art history and print production. If I could, I'd indulge in every form of art that there is. I deeply enjoy helping other indie writers and creatives alike out in their journey, from ARC reading to showcasing their small business'!

To date, my poetry has been published in nearly 50 magazines and lit journals across the globe. I plan on releasing 4+ poetry/prose chapbooks, so keep an eye out for any updates regarding them! Moreover, I'm in the process of writing a few novels in an array of genres, sneak peaks of the stories may be shone!

You can find out more about me on my Website as well as on Instagram, Pinterest, and Spotify.

Languages I know: English (native), Vietnamese, Thai, Norwegian, Irish, Japanese, Hebrew, Czech, Indonesian, Hungarian, Hindi, Finnish, Ukrainian, Italian, Icelandic, Arabic, French, Malayalam, Swahili, and Swedish.

Languages learning: ASL, Korean, Mandarin, Urdu and Spanish.

Some of my favorite things: Rainy days, any kind of tea, flowers, exploring, the night sky, sunsets/sunrises, bookstores, cozy coffeeshops, nature walks, old books, sweaters, making art, creating playlists, volunteering, and learning about other cultures!

Fun Facts: I have undiagnosed ADHD, dyslexia, am queer identifying, gender non-conforming, and practice Shintō.

Blog:

Erie Autumn Skies will center around creativity and where I find inspiration. Expect postcard-poems, letters of prose, possible short stories, translated works of original poems, artwork, and so forth! I may post book reviews and travel photos now and then, too! This will be a writeblr blog and a personal blog! I am open to tag games, asks, etc. as long as they are writing related.

I'm open to DMs and collaborations if you ever want to chat or write together! Everything is okay to reblog. However, no resharing my work outside of Tumblr without my permission. Additionally, I'm open to requests for short poems as long as the prefered theme is included in your request and credit is given wherever the poem is shared.

Book Review – The Mountains Sing 🌄

"The Mountains Sing is a book that will stick with me for years to come. It taught me that after sacrifices made throughout life- holding on to a kind heart can lead towards happier endings."

"...I couldn’t help but be pulled in and feel great sympathy with them in their hardships and journeys faced at their doorsteps..."

"Each chapter held an abundance of voice and vivid illustrations of the lives of those within the book."

Full review can be found on Goodreads!

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

trick or treat! (if youre doing it!) -@maddstermind

Thank you for the ask, @maddstermind!

Here, have... a treat! 🍬 It comes with spooky decorated cookies and some worldbuilding info from one of my WIPs, Exiled Sanctum!

Qredo's Magic System

Qredo works as a tech needs magic and magic needs tech in order to function. With the nameless kingdom (political ruling) restricting the certain grades of magic to be done by certain groups of people, particularly those with under c-grade being primarily in the lower middle class and downwards.

A Few Examples of the Magic Available:

Mechanical - involves manipulation and enhancement of a range of mechanical elements such as weapon creation, hacking, etc. (More to be added about). Can be made through any means necessary, a powerful and useful magic skill for factory workers but also those in the Sactum of Saigh District. Defenses- coexists with mecha tech but focused on the creation of powerful weaponry through a singular source. Cross-connect - similar to mecha tech, this involves the ability to transfigure and encrypt data such as disrupting hidden files, send information to parties without detection, and cut power grids. Rare but not hard to spot if someone is using.

Thank you again! Have a good rest of your day/evening/night and happy (almost) Halloween! 🎃

Incorrect Quotes Tag Game 🗨

This looks exciting! Thank for tagging me, @iamwritehere

Rules: Share incorrect quotes with your OCs using this link

Softly tagging: @enne-uni and @iloveanimalsmorethanhumans, and open to anyone else as well!

For the characters, I used Harper and Astin from Colorblock Interlude! ⏳️

Astin: Damn, the power went out. Harper: Don’t worry, I got this. Harper: *shakes rapidly and starts to light up* Astin: What-? Harper: I swallowed a glow stick! Astin, on the verge of tears: WHY WOULD YOU-

Astin: What's wrong with you? Harper: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition for anxiety and depression.

Harper: My hands are cold. Astin: Here, let me hold them. Harper: My lips are cold too. Astin: *covers Harper's mouth with his hand*

I laughed harder than I should've from how in character these turned out to be 😂

Heads Up Seven Up

Thank you for tagging me, @maddstermind !

Rules: Post seven lines (or paragraphs, etc) from your WIP, and tag seven people!

Tagging: @enne-uni @iloveanimalsmorethanhumans @sm-writes-chaos @awleeofficial @dyrewrites @unmellowyellowfellow @petals4soho

After the cut is a recent excerpt from Colorblock Interlude!

In each nanoscopic slip of time, he transverses the bare limits of their outcomes. One glance at his star-splattered blue eyes and we'd aim to recover what’s lost from others; even if that meant losing ourselves along the line. Yet, that was the mere start—the mere start of how he roped me into another one of his schemes.

Afternoon sun slits through the window blinds into our apartment, an iridescent glow painting across the living room. Half-eaten plates of yakitori rest on the tabletop–a cold reminder that it has been nearly three days since we were absent from the present.

"Ready to take a risk, Astin?" Harper asks, a smirk playing at the cusp of his lips while his hand extends in my direction. I look up hesitantly, avoiding eye contact as much as possible or we'd fall back into a loop of the past.
