opening lines from GOLDBLOODS, a novella by lila mary

⚜️

Although no shackles bind my wrists, I sense the phantom weight of chains falling from me. As I walk in golden sandals towards golden blood, I feel another set of chains snap shut. Flanking me are a caravan of guards clad in gold, both my own and my fiancé’s. My own guards, the ones who guarded my carriage day and night as we rode to his battle camp, have hints of red decorating their tunics. A stark reminder of where I come from. I have wondered if such a reminder will be welcome.

⚜️

this novella will be available on my kofi in the near future! let me know if you'd like to be tagged with updates!

Reintro!

I've been on writeblr four years, I figured it's time for a reintro! a lot of the folks who were here when I first came to this wonderful community aren't here anymore, and it's time to meet some new lovely people!

I'm Lila, she/her, and I am a queer fantasy romance author! I'm an indie author with three books currently out! they are:

All of those are available here! This is my author website, and my author instagram!

I also have an author newsletter, which gives a monthly update on what i'm working on, as well as first looks and sneak peeks!

This is my Kofi, where I post novelettes/short stories. I'm working on a membership system for serial short stories.

I have a general taglist that i use semi-often, so please let me know if you'd like to be added to that! you can find more details about my finished/unfinished works here!

I'm also a frequent fanfic writer, so dm me if you want my ao3 or my fandom blog.

I am always looking for new writeblrs to follow and wips to track! please especially reblog if you're a writer who fits any of these:

is an indie author (ALWAYS looking to support more indie authors)

writes mostly fantasy

writes queer romance

is active and posts about their wips often

but of course, all writers are welcome, even if you don't fit those points! boosts are encouraged!

writers, listen up...

i've fallen out of touch with the writeblr community a lot in the past few years, and i want to rectify that. the community aspect was what made me fall in love with tumblr, and what improved my writing for the better.

the golden days of my writing were when i was highly active and engaged in this wonderful community, but life and work and the horrors of self publishing have overtaken my energy in the past year. however, i have been really struggling with original writing, and i want to get back into the community here.

that said...

you write fantasy with queer characters

are an indie author

post frequently about your wips (taglists are a bonus!)

are queer

are a very active and friendly writer

if any of these apply

please, please reblog and tell me about your wip. gush over it. infodump. characters and ships and worldbuilding and plot, i want it all! this is your invitation to be as selfishly indulgent as possible. let's make some new friends and restore some community!!

boosts appreciated!

i do love when a main character is just a bit of a moron. constantly losing the plot. no idea what’s going on at any given moment. repressed enough the pieces don’t even look jigsaw shaped to them. <3 beloveds

I’ve always wanted to go to a house party like you see in movies but I never found out about any. Was too busy in the monastery where I was trained to kill

[rustywritessometimes]

yeah, please do not trust the "save my family, send money!" spam that is spreading around. I've been getting one a day, each from a different account. it constitutes spam and is not trustworthy

Negative Traits for your Oc

Habitually suspicious or distrustful of others.

Prone to making snap judgments without all the facts.

Constantly seeking validation and attention from others.

Overly critical of others’ efforts and rarely satisfied.

Manipulative, often twisting facts to suit their own narrative.

Impulsive, making decisions without considering the consequences.

Stubborn, refusing to change their mind even when proven wrong.

Hoards resources or information, unwilling to share with others.

[rustywritessometimes]

Eustace is actually a really good name for him. Plotwise, it truly makes me believe that his father didn't care for him.

[rustywritessometimes]

i am NOT calling my son eustace i refuse

(do you think if we bully capcom enough we can make them change it back)

WHAT THR FUCK

[rustywritessometimes]

I feel like writeblr people aren't sending asks to each other as much after that kerfuffle over whether asks need to be individual to a person's projects to count as "supporting" writeblr. Please reblog if you are happy to receive ANY asks, even if it's the same question other people get! I KNOW I AM!

[rustywritessometimes]

I REALLY wish I have a way to just get me writing but alas no 😭 It doesnt help that im burnt out from school right now and I only really write over summer break lmaooo

RE-INTRO

After eons of being almost completely inactive I finally found the energy to log back into this account so hi? Im Rusty, a young writer, I use she/they pronouns, im also some brand of neurodivergent, not 100% exactly what flavour but I'd love to meet other ND writers! Right now im mainly working on two projects that take place in the same world, just different times. Im going to give each of them their own intro in the future. I write mostly fantasy with found family, queer folks and terribly traumatizing my character :D

I love being part of tagging games and being asked questions so feel free to tag me in things or send me messages
