Where Do You Store Your Memories?

Imagine stepping into a story where you are the main character. No longer just supporting cast, but the protagonist steering the ship. That’s where I found myself this year—a strange, bittersweet, yet oddly liberating place to be.

Writing, for me, is like cooking without a recipe. My ingredients? Memories, emotions, and the whispers of characters who refuse to stay quiet. Like Finn, who appeared uninvited last year, pulling me into her grief-filled world. Together, we processed loss, love, and the weight of holding on too tightly to the past.

I​n this new chapter of life, I’m learning to let go of what doesn’t belong and embracing what remains. The memories. The moments. The magic that fuels my stories.

So, now I'm curious: ✨ What fuels your creativity? ✨ What stories make your heart race and your soul sing? ✨ Where do you store the unforgettable moments of your past?

The full story is up on my Substack, Linn’s Writing Nook. Join me there for a proper deep dive into grief, growth, and the secret sauce that makes our stories unique.

A new writer, Ana, interviewed me on Medium today to provide valuable insights to the writing and reading community.

Here is the friend link to the interview that you may enjoy:

Exclusive Interview of Dr Mehmet, Head of Illumination Publications, Seasoned Writer, Content Strategist, and Kindest Person

Ana has also just joined my website as a guest blogger and will be sharing her health and wellness stories as a holistic health advocate specializing in Yoga as as an instructor.

I invite all writers to be guest bloggers on our community blogs to share summaries of their stories and newsletters to create more visibility for them and grow their audience beyond Medium and Substack as supplementary tools.

Here’s Why I Opened My Website to Freelance Writers as Guest Bloggers from Multiple Platforms

I explain why and how writers can benefit from this free blogging opportunity, empowered by a non-commercial writing and reading community, for better audience building.

HEY, YOU. Are you a fan of Friends, Riverdale, Dracula Daily, or Heartbreaker? Do you love romance/romantic plotlines? Do enemies-to-lovers and will-they-won't-they scenarios keep you on the edge of your seat? Are you starving for more diversity and mental health rep?

Then you should read Trainwrecks, a FREE online serial following the lives of six Seattle-adjacent best friends from 2004-2015!

Meet the Cast!

Art by mangomangoj on Instagram.

Luna Cruz: (14) A nerdy and artistic girl who's had enough of being bullied about her weight. Her dream is to become a fashion designer. Or an ASL interpreter. Or both!

Dimitri Hale: (19) The most charming genius-turned-bag-boy you'll ever meet. He likes alcohol a little too much, but better booze than heroin, is he right??

Sebastian Velasquez: (16) The only thing keeping Seb from a life of debauchery is his best friend Dimitri, who he happens to have a crush on. Singing, dancing, and playing the guitar are his hobbies.

Jasmine Nolan: (16) Jasmine had the baddest reputation in her high school until she met Jesus. Now He's forgiven her, but she's having an awfully hard time forgiving herself.

Duke Kingston: (14) Duke might be one of the best friends you'll ever have! But if you're a bully, he's going to beat the shit out of you. No questions asked.

Victoria Hale: (14) Victoria's just moved to the U.S. from London, and she has her sights set on Juilliard. Beware her ADHD rage: She can go from 0 to throwing furniture in seconds.

"You might think that because you’ve had COVID-19 and lived through it that repeat infections will impact you similarly, but “reinfections aren't harmless. As cases continue to rise and more variants arrive on the scene, infectious-disease experts are warning that repeat infections could have cumulative, lasting effects.”

...If you want to maintain your current level of health and avoid potential damage to your body & organs (up to and including your brain & your heart) and/or want to live as long as possible, taking precautions to prevent COVID-19 infections is crucial."

hello hello! this november bianca (@beeanca-writing ) and I our hosting our very own writing and productivity challenge!

this is an indie (and slightly more lax) alternative to NaNoWriMo, where the focus is routine, accountability and above all else progress!

the rules for this challenge are simple:

prior to friday, november 1st 2024 choose a writing goal. this can be a total word count, daily word count, a page count, a certain number of chapters or an amount of time spent writing. remember to choose something attainable for you in thirty days. make a post on tumblr, discord, substack, twitter...(somewhere) presenting yourself (basically who you are as a writer!) your goal and discussing your writing projects or plans using the tag #novemberwripro!

plan and establish a routine. productivity isn't so much about time management, a packed schedule or any sort of fancy tools. productivity is about consistency. by establishing a writing routine for yourself you'll put yourself into a familiar enough rhythm that not only will you be able to write when you don't necessarily want to--you're setting yourself up to produce the best work you can possible put forth.

use your routine to help you work on your writing goal daily throughout the month of november. the goal of any writing challenge is to show some sort of progress on your current projects after all.

document your progress in some way. whether this be through a month long journal, a vlog on youtube or tiktok or even just posts in the discord server or on tumblr--it's important to reflect on all the work you've done and help build a community of accountability!

all are welcome to join--whether that be novelists, non-fiction writers, interactive fiction developers, fic writers, essayists, poets, screen-writers, academics or those simply looking to do more writing!

Well for one I'M not going anywhere, but lets say for no particular reason that Tumblr does bite it...

I don't mean this as any sort of doomsaying, because I'm staying here and will stay here indefinitely. This is where my community is. But, I am curious if people are feeling inclined to relocate!

Feel free to add your other socials to this thread as well!
