Writers when it's time to write the story no one forced them to come up with in the first place 🙄

2025

I have a few goals for myself this upcoming year. The top one is to read more. After high school, I found reading hard. Between my busy college life and dwindling attention span, I never made the time. Then, I became a teacher and only read what my kids read. Now that I’m no longer teaching, I feel the need to do an overhaul with everything in my life. I am looking for a new job. I’ve been going to the gym regularly and eating better. I want to use my phone less, and I want to read more than I used to. This year I read 11 books which is way more than I’ve ever done. I wanna keep it up.

I look forward to becoming a better, healthier version of myself. I’m hoping to be better for me and for others around me. In doing that, I feel everything else in my life will start falling into place.

✍🏾 OC questionnaire tag

Thanks @paintedbutton for the tag!

📝 Answer the questions provided from your own OC's perspective. Then create new questions for those tagged to continue the game.

It's been a while since I've done a tag game! I'm actually excited to get to do one. I'll use a character named Aedh from WotG since I'm about to start a new chapter from his POV.

What is your favourite memory from your childhood?

Without a doubt, my favorite memory was meeting Orella. She was so beautiful and so kind. Anyone that caught a glimpse of her couldn't stop staring. That is how amazing she is. When I first saw her, I knew we were supposed to meet. In another life, I think she was my mother. I wish she were in this one.

Is waking up early easy or hard for you? Why?

Waking up early is easy since my father is usually already awake anyways. If I slept in, I'd have less time to train, and I need to train. It's the only way I'll ever show I'm worthy of being here.

If you woke up in a different world tomorrow, which one would you want it to be?

I'd want to be in the world where I could summon fire just as easily as everyone else. I'd want to be in the world where I was liked and respected and had a name of my own.

Tagging @lukas-wrld @kae-luna @the-ellia-west

Your questions are:

How do you solve problems in your life?

Who is your favorite person? Why?

If you could travel back in time, where and when would you go?

WRITEBLR INTRO :D

hello! my name is scottie! i am a 20 yr. old nb college student trying to write a fantasy series (among other minor projects!), looking for active writers to be mutuals and interact with (bonus if ur open to beta reading! or want a beta reader!) :D ask/tag open! i love talking to people, so don't be afraid to say hi :)

my current focus is coming-of-age queer fantasy, but i also focus on dystopian themes, horror, romance, and a sprinkle of futuristic sci-fi

CURRENT WIPS!

mya laine and the world of wonder (main)

generally, about creation! coping with being created, and then in turn having to create yourself. also, because i only knonw how to write two things, almost every relationship in this is a lesbian relationship! i am currently trying to make it a bit less Only Lesbians, but also? who fucking cares if it is a fantasy coming of age with literally only lesbian relationships. like... i dont? i'm well aware that i am biased but i still dont care

dehisce

(of a pod or seed vessel, or a cut or wound) gape or burst open.

also lesbians! contains time shenanigans and dragons. set in a world sort of exactly like the Modern Pre-Crown World in fionna and cake. i reference this because my main lady penny is a silly little history buff and decides to go on this expedition to find more information on a lost goddess, and ends up getting entangled with time. after a long, emotional trek that goes wrong more times than it goes right. penny somehow manages to get sent thousands of years in the future when the world has been ravaged by magic and godly power. and then she meets a girl who has a dragon and a dude that does everything she says, and more shit happens!

untitled crime story (now: unorthodox methods!)

i will not stop calling it untitled crime story!!! but i had to come up with a silly and catchy title because i chose this as a premise for the feature film script i'm writing for class. but untitled crime story i'll remember you

you guessed it.... lesbians.............. but they're exes with sooo much unspoken beef and they go off-grid together anyways so neither of them get put in prison ??? it's in a world where magic is normal and a bit frowned upon, now getting out of have because there's a global shortage of the one drug that suppresses magical powers. and this girl's ex calls her one night! the fun ex---she's supposed to be fun!! but she sounds super terrified and serious and chaos ensues! lesbians running from magical authorities and having to face their very long, very loud shared history.

finally edited it! this post just doubles as my wip masterpost :) i do not feel like doing a whole new post i am just here to have fun

ok <3 thats kinda it. thank you for reading!

[mjparkerwriting]

Writing Update!

It’s been a busy few weeks with the ongoing job search (going terribly), a little roadtrip, being sick for like two weeks and then also Thanksgiving but I have been able to get back to my writing some and I’m happy to say I’ve got a little over 65,000 words written for my second draft of TLBH, now called WoTG. Now that I've gotten somewhere, I would like to reintroduce my story.

WIP - Book 1/5

WotG

Genre: Fantasy

Status: Second Draft; started September 27, 2024

Progress/Target: 65.5k/100-115k

Plot: In a world where prophecies are plentiful and magic is everywhere, two university students who were accidentally transported there must find their way home. As they discover the stories behind the land they travel and try to accept that they may be the heroes of legend, four other young adults are on a journey of their own, in search of a meaning to their lives and a way to survive the expectations and legacies of their families and destinies.

Extra details: Black female lead. Cherokee male lead. Plenty of LGBTQ rep and many Black and POC characters. Multiple POVs that will shuffle around during the series

The eight stages of writing :

- this is awesome

- this is slightly less awesome

- this is shit

- I’m shit

-oh god oh fuck what the hell am I doing

-wait this might not be that bad actually

- How the fuck is this working

-This is awesome

[mjparkerwriting]

Update!

I’ve been MIA for a while but for good reason! After finishing writing two books in like three years, I had to sit back and take a break but now I am 53k words into a rewrite of TLBH, which has a new title now.

Also, I quit teaching and I am past the grieving period and am now celebrating.

Also Also, Twitter may be dying (good) so if anyone wants to follow my bluesky and see my face and dumb thoughts and music suggestions, you should follow me.

I’ll try to work harder to use tumblr more. I just needed to get some life things in order first.

[mjparkerwriting]

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

Synopsis: Destined to be the next High Priestess, Freya is tasked with looking into the future of the King as a divine gift for his 40th year on the throne. But when she reveals the grim future she foresees, her life falls apart as he sentences her to death.

Prince Victor, the King's one and only son, takes it upon himself to save the young priestess in an act of bravery and recklessness. Determined to keep her safe, he takes her to the forbidden forest, said to be the link between humans and Gods.

Time is running out, and Freya has to choose between what she believes in and what she must do.

Can you imagine one of your books getting so popular that you stumble upon fan art of your characters? Yeah. That’s why I keep writing.
