#writeblr wrapup ask game

[dragon-swords-prophecies]

How about 1, 4, and 9 for the ask game!

hi!! thanks for the ask!!!

1. what was your writing-highlight this year? what made it special and how will you reflect on it next year?

writing highlight of this year was probably herald at dawn. spefifically, winning (half, 25k) nano, which was amazing. but also herald at dawn in general, because its the most words i've ever written on a draft i'm proud of (the original frost & fire was 40k, but it also isn't something my current self is really proud of.) and its, in my opinion, the best plot in terms of fleshed out-ness and character arcs & development & shit

4. what is your favourite line you wrote this year?

defineity this.

“You can’t stick papers in their spines! It falls out. You know what mine can do? Have paper shoved in its spine and paper stays in its spine!"

out of context I think its fucking awesome, but in context i still love it so much. (this is during leo and james' argument about notebooks and which one is better, spiral bound or sewn bound (? is that what its called--), and this is (one of) leo's arguments for why sewn bound notebooks are better.)

9. create a meme or moodboard that captures your past writing-year!

(i then proceeded to get him stabbed)

(pretty much all of my writing year was in novemeber)

Hello, my sprites! Here we are for another wrapup ❤︎

It's been quite a busy month full of progress and creation! I'm excited to see what I've accomplished, so let's get into it!

➺ First of all, I created a kofi ! I’ve been more active in the community and as such, I’ve offered  to help others with tumblr theme coding, WIP graphics, and more, for free! The kofi is for those of you who would like to support what I write and do ^^

➺ In a similar vein, I created a Notion template for free use; it’s a character masterlist, includes an expanded character page template, and is completely free for any notion user.  (That said, Notion does offer a free premium membership for students, if you have a student email c;)

➺ This month has been a major increase in activity. We welcome 52 new sprites to the Haven, for a total of 540 members! I'm elated that so many of you are interested in my work ❤︎

➺ Along with this, I’ve reached two other milestones; 5,000 liked posts and 1,000 original posts. Honestly, I’m not too sure whether to be proud of these or not. If anything, it’s slightly unnerving to see how active I am, LOL.

➺ The writeblr list is up to 37 members and is still open to adding more! Simply fill out the form, reblog the original promo post, and I’ll tag you once I’ve added you to the Locket.

➺ North Haven Discord has reached 52 members! I’ve also worked hard to bring in new bots, reorganize realms, and allow members to share their work in a more effective manner. All writers  are welcome to join, and if you do, I ask that you reblog the promo post for it!

➺ I’ve been generally more active this month, as have all of my lovely sprites! My inbox has been absolutely overflowing with asks and I’ve got plenty of tag games to work with; I’m extremely grateful for everyone’s support, and I will always get to your asks + tags.

➺ That said, I wanted to give a few mutuals a shoutout, as my community has grown quite a bit and I’ve started interacting with even more wonderful writeblrs ❤︎

@writingpotato07 @kaatiba @ink-fireplace-coffee @andromedatalksaboutstuff @aghostwriteblr @bloodlessheirbyjacques @sweetieguk @tragicbackstoryenjoyer

Each of you have been so wonderful and supportive, and I’m so grateful to have the pleasure of sharing my works with you and to get to learn about yours ❤︎

➺ I created a tag list for my writing, poetry, snippets, and more; reblog with which lists you’d like to be on! (A/N: If you want everything, you’ll be added to the ‘general’ list)

➺ Most of my writing has been fully compiled into Google Drive and Notion, with a few straggling bits of info in notebook.ai and kumu.io. This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to having everything in one, single place!

➺ All of my characters have been noted down in Notion (or, most of them) in one big masterlist; a few have linked pages, which I’ve been slowly working on expanding!

➺ Faefinder has had a major update! I made an intro, designed some covers, and even managed to post the first part! I’m still mostly in the planning stages with this one, but at the very least I have a general idea of the direction I want to go!

➺ My blog has expanded into multiple new pages, with more yet to be added! Please welcome the following to my page list…

WIP Pages A Ghost, a Quill, and a Mockingbird Angel to Mage Fable: Servant to Dragon and King Faefinder

Character Pages Archaics Inamorata StDK (Cast) Luminaries

This marks a two month streak on monthly wrap-up posts, which I’m super proud of! It turns out that the motivation of seeing my progress laid out is more than enough to do this, and hopefully, I’ll be able to continue this next month as well. Once again, thank you to every single one of my sprites for the support and love; I can’t wait to see what the next month holds for us ❤︎

Hello, my sprites! The Haven is progressing ❤︎

First, I want to thank my sweetest @365runesofwriting for so graciously allowing me to take inspiration from their monthly wrapup; I'm not sure whether I'll be able to keep up with this, but I would certainly like to try!

(I'll also be lumping in August, in terms of posts.)

Without further ado, let's see what I've been up to this month...

»»—————————-　𓆩❤︎𓆪　—————————-««

𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕 𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜 ---

➺ After returning from quite a long break, I'm pleased to report the haven has nearly reached the Five Hundred Follower Milestone! During this month, 45 new sprites made their way to safety.

➺ During this time, I also updated my blog theme, colors, and pages. I now have a new masterlist of my works, a character library (WIP), and I plan on making an expanded navigation page in the future!

➺ I opened my discord server, North Haven, to the writeblr public; a space for writers to share their work in specialized categories and/or channels, known as 'realms,' as well as participate in sprints and QotD!

➺ Created a masterlist of writeblr blogs, known as The Locket and it already has 36 blogs! I very much hope for that number to continue to grow.

➺ I've managed to go into more detail when answering asks, and I've even done my best to focus on only a few WIPs to help followers connect to my works better; Servant to Dragon and King and Fable

➺ Though I've had my blog for a while, I joined a whole new writeblr community, and I've met so many wonderful new mutuals since. As such, I can't help but mention a few that have been especially welcoming, in no particular order:

@midnight-and-his-melodiverse @queerlilchinchin @perasperaadastrawriting @antihell @orphicpoieses @marinesocks @enchanted-lightning-aes @italiangothicwriteblr @memento-morri-writes

Please know that if I had the energy, I would absolutely go into detail for each of you. You've all been super supportive and engaging, and I can't wait to see what we create next!

The summer leading up to this month has been quite long... that said, I've made a lot more progress than I ever expected!

➺ After stepping away permanently from my coauthor of 5 years, I've managed to detach my work from theirs; my characters stand proudly on their own, joined by quite a few new ones, and my worlds are blazing brighter than ever

➺ I now have two universes; Alatheia, and now Elysia. ➺ I also have three new planets; Firma, Lockehaven, and Lumia.

➺ Old WIPs have been archived, with a few pages dusted off and rewritten to fit my current world.

➺ I started a new project, Faefinder; a WIP still in its very early stages of brainstorming and research, and a setting I've not used before. ➺ I began writing Angel to Mage; a WIP that for now is a collection of snippets in the hero x villain style, and is another concept I've not worked with before.

➺ I've built up pinterest boards for quite a few of my characters and developed others. ➺ Character playlists have been cleaned up and expanded. ➺ Introduced Myhren & Fable

With Halloween coming up and classes beginning to get busier, I still have some vague plans for this month;

➺ Progress w/ Character Library ➺ Continue answering asks ➺ Update The Locket ➺ Introduce a few more WIPs and Characters

»»—————————-　𓆩❤︎𓆪　—————————-««

This post has shown me just how much I have actually accomplished in such a short time; there are plenty of things I didn't even get to, but seeing it all in one spot is quite nice. I can only do my best to keep moving forward!
