Now, onto the tag! 💛

Here are the kiss rules 💋✨:

Rules: From your Story/WIP, share a kiss. It can be any kiss, from familial pecks on the cheek, forehead kisses, platonic smooches, to full-blown makeouts.

And if you don’t have a kiss, no worries! You can still participate by treating this post as a writing share! 💚

Rules: Share a snippet of your writing!

I will attempt to fit as many tags this week as possible in this post as I give you this heartbreaking excerpt from YWIMC:

For the music tag, take some Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts” to set the stage:

And now, without ANY dialogue, get ready for a gutwrenching scene where Ali and Noah are fighting. I’m putting it underneath the cut because there is a ⚠️ trigger warning for domestic violence. ⚠️ Use discretion.

✨👇Tag list for writing snippets below. DM me if you’d like to be added 👇✨

In one last act of desperation, Noah started to scream. He screamed in pain, anger, sorrow, stress. He screamed a guttural scream that instinctively made Ali flinch and his gut turn. The djinn slapped a hand to Noah’s mouth to muffle the agony as Cauldwell tried pulling his head away, only briefly stopping his distressed cries to jolt out of Ali’s attempt to silence him. And in another attempt to stop the visceral screams, the genie wrapped his arms tightly around his master, and held Noah’s head to the frantic pulse in Ali’s neck.

In his fight or flight, Noah beat closed fists on Ali’s shoulder blades. Frustration, desperation, culminating sorrow bubbled out of his chest as he wailed into Ali’s neck, and onto Ali’s back. Cauldwell’s attempts at kicking were stopped by the genie’s knees pinning his legs down, and in the heat of the struggle Noah’s lenses slid off his face and clattered on the floor….the left lens cracking and the right one remaining whole.

Ali grit his teeth and bore the strikes, yet refused to let go. He held the back of Noah’s head, the face to his nape, and weathered the flagellation. Weaker and weaker the strikes rained, but the tempest would not stop the flood from Noah’s olive eyes. Anger and frustration gave way to despair, until finally Cauldwell crumbled.

Furious, hot screams turned into icy cries and frigid tears. The furious fists flexed their fingers to tightly clench the back of Ali’s collar. Noah’s arms, once trying to push away, pulled around Ali’s neck to bring him closer. The anger stinging Ali’s corneas simmered away as his face softened, washing cold sadness over his somber face.

Ali and Noah naturally slid to sit on the cool vinyl floor as the genie kept his master locked to his chest. Resting at the foot of the couch, Ali let a silent prayer parse his lips, pressing the plump skin to the top of Noah’s head as his eyebrows furrowed in deep contemplation.

My current WIP is called Nowhere to Nowhere. The story follows two sisters who slipped through a gate in the woods while exploring on their camping trip and befriend Bryn the fae cat. Bryn narrates what happens when Jennifer's younger sister Sam is taken by Forest Folk while trying to get home again. After making a deal with a wicked hag, Bryn and Jennifer must work together as they cross through Nowhere to save not just Sam, but themselves as well. It is a story about love, loss, growing up, and self reflection.

I post my writing tag game things here on Tumblr, but I publish full chapters and store all of my world building info on Toyhouse. You do not need an account to view the pages. Click here for the full world page and the library!

**Note: This author is not responsible for any unfortunate encounters with Fae Folk. Explore at your own risk.

FELLOW WRITEBLRS!

A quick one:

I want to get more involved with people's current WIPs on this lil' corner of tumblr, but I'm finding it hard to get a foothold since it can be overwhelming jumping into something that someone's been working on for potentially months/years on each individual blog.

SO in an attempt to gather some of these WIPs in one place for me and others to browse, I'd love it if you could reblog this with a few lines/paragraphs about your plot/characters, maybe with links to any WIP intros you have and the genre too.

Just an idea! I want new ocs to obsess over!

My example under the cut!:

Tales from the Black Plains (intro) (tag) is a historical revisionist 'anti'-western with low fantasy elements and a focus on characters and romance. It's adult fiction with dark themes.

It'll be a collection of 'prequel' stories leading into one major novel, revolving around a group of outlaws called the Jack Fowler Gang and the morally ambiguous crew who band together to oppose them.

At the centre of the major plot is the enemies-to-lovers bond between gang leader Jack Fowler and Abigail Stone, the sheriff's daughter. Fowler is searching for something and takes over Abigail's town to find it. With the sheriff away, Abigail feels an obligation to step up and protect her town. But things get complicated when she figures out his true motives and discovers that Jack Fowler might be the only thing standing between the Black Plains and catastrophe.

Hi, I’m Kate (she/her), just another 20-something queer romance writer. When I’m not crafting love stories, you’ll probably catch me experimenting with a new cupcake recipe or cozying up on the couch reading webtoon. When I have the money I want to add all of Hannah Grace and Kate Marchant’s novels to my bookshelf.

I’m a huge Swiftie, and her songs often inspire my writing. I’m also a huge fan of peonies (they’re my favorite flower) and pink gin fizz (because who doesn’t love a good drink to sip while writing?). I also have a cat who’s basically my writing buddy.

Right now, I’m drafting a chaotic, summer romance about a fashion student navigating her tangled love life, a secret past with her best friend, a bad boy with rebellious charm and new sparks with her high school crush. It’s a coming-of-age, friends-to-lovers story full of drama and self-discovery.

Here, you'll find my WIP updates, tag games, character introductions, writing challenges and responses to asks. I also look forward to sharing behind-the-scenes content like playlists, moodboards, and the rants that sums up my drafting process.

Let’s connect! Whether you’re here because you want to know about me or my projects, want to share your WIPs, or just need someone to gush over tropes with, my inbox is always open. Tag me in games or drop an ask—I’d love to hear about your stories!

This is me. Kinda jealous of all the writers who can write quickly because I can't.

[ettawritesnstudies]

READERS: FYI BOOKSHOP.ORG HAS FREE SHIPPING FOR ANTI-PRIME DAYS

This is a cool platform that gives back to local and small businesses so I'm affiliated with them. If you want to use my link to buy anything I'll get a small cut which is appreciated, but regardless this is still a neat opportunity to dodge Amazon's monopoly especially if you don't have prime.

[transman-badass]

Here's to the people who can't get the words on the page. The people who are too tired after all life throws at them to write. The people who are blocked. The people who are burnt out. The people who can't write because of physical or mental illnesses. The people who don't know why they can't write. And the people struggling with all those other things that get in the way of writing and make it seem or be impossible.

You're still a writer, you're still an artist. And you matter. This world is better since you're in it. Thank you for wanting to write, even if you can't right now. I hope you and your words find each other soon.

Please stick to ONE TASK, brain!!

🧠: No. :)

[pinespittinink]

got thoughtful about opinions on bad books so here’s an inverse: what’s a book you had to read for school that you actually enjoyed/have grown to like? mine is Lord of the Flies

[jgmartin]

me, after clearing my schedule to write:

uhhhh it was raining... and dark (and also night) and um... cold i guess?? anyway, something dramatic~ happened

me, stuck in traffic on my way to work:

Rain tumbled through midnight leaves, casting the forest in liquid moonlight. A low growl shook the horizon. Death had come.
