Ah, what is this? A-ah. What kind of fool (me) thinks they'll find success in the field of writing? Alright, let me read this…

So, yeah. I'm writing my own book. It’s a novel in the genre of ethnic fantasy based on the ethnography of Ukrainians, my ethnic group.

The plot goes like this: a Ukrainian girl named Larysa embarks on a journey across Ukraine, from Slobozhanshchyna to the Carpathians, in search of Veles’ vyshyvanka – a magical artifact that holds the secrets of wealth, animal husbandry, and death. Along the way, she will encounter numerous creatures from Ukrainian folklore, a family of Russian landlords determined to thwart her, and a divine conflict within the Slavic pantheon.

I’m asking for feedback on this opening. The original is being written in Ukrainian and translated into English using [don’t judge me] ChatGPT. And was it worth translating Ukrainian folk songs included in the book into English?

Tankies really have one argument to defend their genocide denial and that is "western sources are propaganda and you can't trust them". Ah, yes, the most westernest of sources, my Ukrainian grandma.

For my awesome followers and anyone else who might see this.

Hi my beautiful followers and all others. Idk why I'm posting this rn, (I think I'm ovulating), but I just wanted to let y'all know that you guys matter. If you're sad, here's a BIG FAT and JUICY hug! And if you're not...here's another BIG FAT and JUICY hug! If you're depressed, know that things will get better, and if you're not, continue to stay happy, and remember to stay strong when tough times come. If you're suicidal, remember that you matter. You had a one in (I forgot how many million) chance of being born. And you were born. It doesn't matter if you believe in Jesus, Allah, Ram, Satan, or a different god or no god, you're still a human and you DESERVE to live. Life isn't always smooth, and you gotta be ready to face hard times. But remember, don't listen to the people who say "Stop crying, you can't change what has happened". CRY. CRY ALL YOU WANT. LET IT OUT. If you feel like no one is there for you... I AM. If you're lonely, TALK TO ME!!!! You deserve to LIVE AND LAUGH.

Thank you for listening to me yap.

P.S if you're in war rn, things will get better. I love each and every one of you, and I pray everyday that peace will happen. I'm terribly sorry if you have lot someone in the war. I hope you know how much that person loves you. They are watching you from the stars, and may they rest in peace 🕊. I am here for you all. If you're ever lonely, feel free to message me on my blog, and we can chat. I love you all❤
