Might have to resort to manipulative Begging Cat Doodle(TM) to grub for more writeblrs to follow because the search functions on this hellsite are COOKED, no wonder people are doing chain posts like ye oldey email times.

Being in West Australia already sucks because I miss most stuff due to time zones but my cup is nigh empty. I starve Update: would you really let a little guy starve

transcend

You don’t know how cold the lake-water is until you’re already choking on the frost crawling up your throat and flooding your sinuses. The thirst cracks your lips into the ground of your mother’s village and you can’t imagine a single plant would think to grow in this waterless place.

You need a sun to grow the forest but cannot commit yourself to the sacrifice of hard work: the self as the tree that grows too bent, falls off the edge of the forest. Hunger growls into your empty caverns and the sound rattles in as though it were taking place of your soul. Lonely, alone. You learn the difference, peel apart your skin, and watch yourself pour out like the juice of the oranges your grandmother would peel in warm summer afternoons. Eyesight replaced by TV static, ears humming with heat and the buzz of drowsy flies. Below your mortality lies a layer of ichor-veins thrumming at a frequency too high for you to hear. A trap. A cage. A body.

You would rather be impaled by the monsters you thought lived in your closets than be them yourself, and ascend into a form you would not despise. Flat. Sharp. A straight line, which you let rust and rot–break down your body into dust and a dotted dash. Hope. Love. The skies have been clearer lately, but your shoulders are getting tired; you wish to drop it all.

Above everything else, there is one higher-flying truth embedded in every tear, every seam; every tear, every scream; in the trees and the mountains and every dipped valley: you want.

YOUR OCS TAKES OVER YOUR WRITING!

[typingoverworld]

Writing Prompt:

Sometimes memories are the only thing holding you together.

[rodanseys]

poem i wrote after a first date:

cuffs

maybe i don't want to be brave.

maybe i want to be very small.

maybe i miss road trips in pigtails 

where i’d fall asleep against the hums

of the forest green ford, my father's foot

on the gas, which meant home.  which 

means shelter.  shoulder— as in,

to bear for someone.  the night we met

grew late, grew cold.  i let you borrow

my jean jacket i carried to occupy hands

unsure of their capacity to be held.

at the end, you shrugged it off

in my subaru, parked a crosswalk away 

from your apartment.  i think i would

like to shrug many things off like that.

to be draped by something warmed

by another's touch & not flinch

after its loss.  i hear my future

in your voice (read: your voice in

my future) which means tomorrow.

which meant driving myself home

that night.  i put on the gps

even though i didn’t need it & i put on

the jean jacket, pretending it was yours

& you let me borrow it & that’s why

the sleeve cuffs were rolled up

so many times.

Writeblr Re-Introduction

Hello! I haven’t had a proper intro on here in about a year and I’ve changed names, so I’m redoing this.

Call me Ink(s)! Or I. N. Knight as my published name will be once I get there.

Note: I follow from xxinksxx.

I’m using this to find more writeblrs as well as promote my work written so far The Tales of Dai-Ne and Curiosity Killed the Elf! 

First off I’m looking for: 

-Writeblrs who do fantasy, romance, and mystery but anything with supernatural elements is my jam.

-I’m also a sucker for witty characters and great dialogue!

-I would like to see more disabled characters, POC characters, and just generally fun characters to read about because that’s what I like to write about. 

Some Things You’ll See Here:

-Tag games (comment/reblog this if you would like to be tagged in tag games!)

-Positive writing memes

-Writing ramblings

-Posting of snippets

-Boosts from other writeblrs

My works:

Curiosity Killed the Elf: Princess Allonwë and her body guard Natanael are forced to go on an adventure when Allonwë barters off to a group of strangers, a shiny bracelet that they later find out to be a weapon of mass destruction. Forced to work together in secret, the two must get the bracelet back before anyone realizes it was them that lost it in the first place, or worse, before her parents find out and ground her for a millennia. 

The Tale of Dai-Ne: The adventures of 4 teens who are swept into a world of magic and chaos and must prevent the veil between the magic and non-magic world from collapsing, all the while surviving their training to become the most powerful magic users in the world. Can they unlock the secrets of the past before the forgotten race of Fae tear down the veil and take everyone out with them?

Bonus story:

Love Triangle Gone Wrong: Ethan is a werecat in a small southern town full of paranormal beings that hide from the rest of the world. Lucien was cursed to be a wolf when the moon present and is only free on nights when there is a no moon showing. The two of them imprint on a newcomer in town named Hope. The kicker? Hope is married with a kid on the way and the boys catch feelings for the wrong person. Follow Ethan, Lucien, Hope, and their friends as this love triangle unfolds in all the wrong (right?) directions and they try to keep Hope from finding out the dark truth about their small town world.

Conclusion:

Thanks for reading this far! Please tell me what you think, a little about yourself if you’re a new follower, and boosts are appreciated. Just let me know in the tags if it’s a boost or if it’s a tag me in games reblog. (It can be both!)

A Pumpkin game Because Reasons

Wrote this one day and then forgot about it because it was Halloween during 2020 and I either forget everything that happened that year or keep thinking we're still in it. Anyway. Have fun. And try not to kick the pumpkins. They don't like that.

🎃🎃🎃🎃

When you see a field of pumpkins, you're compelled to stop and at least look at it. …Turns out if you stare long enough, something weird will happen. Also turns out, the shovel may not be the best option. I mean, it depends on what you do with it.

Would you like to play?

You see a field of pumpkins.

[Pssst!] [You can play the full game here if you want. I'd say it doesn't bite, but...]

NEW YEAR’S POSITIVITY TAG

The gist of this tag game that I just made is to spread some positivity/love to fellow writeblrs! Whatever you have to say can be general or geared towards a specific writeblr(s) (I really wanted to say something specific for every writeblr tagged down below, but oh boy would that have taken a while). If you’re tagged, pay the positivity forward (no pressure if you don’t have the time or energy, though. This is all in good fun!)

It has been a very challenging week (and year), as I’m sure it has been for so many people, but I’ve been thinking long and hard about what it is I’d like to do for all my mutuals and I guess the writeblr community in general, and this is really the best I could come up with.

Yeah. I just wanted to say, whether you’ve been with me for five months or five days, I see you, and I appreciate you so so much. I’m not very good at explaining how it is I feel exactly as I feel it, but, like, every time I get a notification or I see you beautiful beanbags on my dash it’s just an instant mood booster. I may not always respond to tag games, or asks, or posts where you guys share your writing immediately but I see them and as I’m sure my tags hint at, I love them. I feel really honored to be a apart of a community so full of talented and creative people. You guys are seriously made my 2022 so much better. Cheers for a (hopefully) amazing 2023!

Happy (belated) holidays to those who celebrate and Happy New Year! Tagging basically every writeblr I know on this hellsite (😭): @thetruearchmagos, @cryptid-s-wips, @space-cadead, @asablehart, @writingamongther0ses, @toribookworm22, @calicojackofficial, @westcountrygothic, @mz-elysium, @wearfinethingsalltoowell, @blind-the-winds, @happystarfishnightmare, @littlepatchofhell, @spookyceph, @jamieanovels, @thatndginger, @aesa, @theskeletonprior, @citruswords, @reowrites, @highlycosmic, @make-the-heteros-upseteros-2022, @blackwidow2005, @ellatholmes, @chayscribbles, @likegemstone, @navarenwizard, @cherrybombfangirlwrites, @toboldlywrite, @thelittlestspider, @maggiefromspace, @shireduchess, @jess-p-edits, @orphicpoieses, @moonandris, @alwaysastrophel, @neshamahs, @kingsinking, @eternalwritingstudent, @gailynovelry, @writingforevren, @unholyspaceprophet, @bittenthehand, @eli-writes-sometimes, @ashirisu, @harrison-abbott

And @alistonjdrake I know we’re not mutuals but I’m a fan of yours so 👉👈 🥺

Now, there are almost certainly followers/writeblrs I’m forgetting, so if that’s you, know I didn’t do it purpose and yes this tag game is for you too. In fact, it’s for everyone who’d like to join in!

[redwritesreads]

I’ve had a Pinterest account since 2016 when my A level art teacher ordered us all to make one and it’s just occurred to me that some of the 29k images I’ve saved since then could be useful to other writers/creatives. So here:

- character creation board (including dynamics, pets and vibes)

- setting inspo board (both interiors and exteriors)

- fashion board

- figure pose reference board

- tattoos board

Hope this is helpful to someone <3

Writeblr roundup - book club?

By the way, I run a book club with the inimitable and well-organized @ipsogender, so if you want to check out our reviews on Left Hand of Darkness at the end of this month, follow @intersexbookclub!

Otherwise, I'm playing catch-up on a lot of beta reads I've promised people, but I'm open to book club suggestions? I'm thinking something horror or SFF is going to be the way to go. First read, I'd suggest "Into the Drowning Deep" by Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire maybe?

Also, as usual, Discord is a great way to contact me/organize stuff, and I also respond avidly to DMs!

Salutations! Random Writer Question: For how long have you been writing?

15 years!

Shoutout to my 6th grade English teacher who taught us Greek mythology and let us write a short story each week and... had us sacrifice a pig (piñata) to teach us history?

Odd and wonderful woman who taught us well.
