I'm seeing the same people over and over on my dash so that naturally means I need to follow some new people to spice things up.

If you're a writeblr who writes original fiction about:

queer, poc, and/or disabled characters (especially ownvoices)

particularly aro/ace and neurodivergent where are u at!!!

high fantasy (bonus for dragons and uncommon settings)

vampires (bonus if not romance)

revenge plots

fluid/nuanced/unlabeled relationships and identities

anything asian or eastern-inspired, especially themes like the yinyang and martial arts and taoism

anything that subverts tropes tbh

Reblog this and I'll check you out! I'm a bit picky about what I like on my dash so no guarantees but I'll try to boost some wips/intros and follow new people <3

If you're interested in fairytale retellings, high & urban fantasy, genderless cultures, dragons, vampires, werewolves, and every type of queer in the book you might want to check out my stuff lol

the thing is, i WANT to read stories where The Bad Thing happens. you know, the narrowly-avoided outcome, the thing where the protagonist and friends are like "phew! glad THAT didn't happen!" i want to see it happen. i want the protagonist to get held captive and experimented on, maybe for a prolonged period of time. i want them to make a deal with the devil and live with the consequences. i want them to be forced to work for the enemy. i want to the bad things to Happen, and i want to see them Happen for more than a single scene.

A Writer’s Guide To Conquering Executive Dysfunction (Part I)

These tips were taken from the comments of a post by @mr-writes I’ve included commentary under each tip to further explain the benefits. Stay tuned for part II in the next few weeks.

Without further ado, here’s the list:

1. Leave your house—or, at the very least, crawl out of your bed/comfy gremlin nest. A change of scenery may encourage creativity and keep you from a more sedentary state. @antique-symbolism

2. Talk out your writing with a trusted friend or critique partner. Sometimes you need to get the brain jumble out of your head, find an outside perspective, and share in the fun of writing discourse @karolinarodrigueswrites

3. Make sure your basic needs are met. Is your room clean? Are you clean and in comfortable clothing? Have you eaten today? Are you in need of hydration? Have you taken your meds? You are your top priority. Physical and mental health difficulties often impact creativity, inertia, and motivation. @fenrir-kin

4. Remind yourself how fun writing is by crafting indulgent, low stakes scenes. Screw the outline— write whatever inspired you in the moment! Are you daydreaming of a scenario only loosely related to the plot? Write that instead! Holding goals and abiding by a schedule for your writing is admirable. But remember, enjoying the process of creating your art is the whole reason to create art in the first place. @karolinarodrigueswrites

5. Get comfy! Pull on your coziest clothes, grab a soft blanket, prepare a cup of tea or coffee, light a scented candle, turn on the mood lighting, queue up an atmospheric playlist— whatever works for you! The goal is to get relaxed, lower stress and pressure, and immerse yourself in your story. @thegroundhogdidit

6. Use prompts. Starting any new task can be daunting. Staring at the blank page is, as any writer will tell you, intimidating— and some days, it’s much less stressful to just not start at all. Writing from a prompt could reduce the stress of initiating a new task. You can find prompts in many locations: Pinterest, tumblr, writing blogs. I’ve asked friends for some in the past. Whatever option seems most interesting to you may be worth a try. @aninkwellofnectar

Character Voice Tag!!

Thanks to @willtheweaver for the open-ended tag!! Character voice tag is a simple game where you rewrite a line in character for a little guy!

My line is: I think we’re lost.

Trixx: Hey Cal! Look at this cool rock I found!

Ajax: Someone get a map (pulls out compass) The river should take us down to a city, where we can regain our bearing. Let’s go.

Agate: I’m not lost. This is where I should be.

Tagging @warriorblood1 @sentfromwolves @rhyaxxyn @marigold-clouds @mr-orion and anyone else I forgot/wants to join!! (If you don’t want me to tag you lmk)

Your line is: (Ron Swanson voice) Who broke it?

[trixies-show]

story where one character cares so so deeply about another and wants them to heal and needs to protect them but the target of their love just cannot accept it fundamentally and/or does not care to improve themselves

[trixies-show]

Character voice tag!!!

@cowboybrunch sent out an open ended tag game, and I felt like answering :3

My line is: What were you thinking?

Hope: Agate… what? What? What on earth were you THINKING?

Cal: …I don’t think anyone else could’ve managed to fail that spectacularly.

Raya: No… no… I… it’s okay, it’s fine, we can fix it later, I just, I didn’t mean…

As for you all, your line is: Please stay with me.

Tagging @warriorblood1 @sentfromwolves @faithfire-writes @marigold-clouds @agirlandherquill @forthesanityofstorytellers and anyone else who’s interested!! Tag games are fun :p

I’ll do it I will literally just do it I love reading people’s stories

im writing a story and I have no idea how to review/ get people to read the un-finished version. Any tips?

[trixies-show]

the writeblr community has been so kind and i just want to say thank you, considering how nervous i was at first. i apologise for not sharing more about my wips; i've been having some brain issues that are making it really hard to think, write and just work on my wips in general.

which is why i strived to make friends and generally discuss each other's wips instead. thank you to all those who have helped me so far with brainstorming new ideas and just agreed to chat with me <3 i'm having fun

[trixies-show]

wanderlust? question mark?

i sent a message to tumblr support yesterday about the issue, and we'll just have to wait for a response :'] for now, my only option would be managing my messages through my side account. which isn't desirable, but i do really want to talk to people and make friends. not to mention i was hoping to find somebody to help work the plot beats of a certain wip out with :']

[trixies-show]

nooooooooo come back fren :(

so my writeblr is one of two accounts, i was sending a bunch of dms to other writeblrs and suddenly it stopped working. so i refreshed and now it only shows me messages from my other account. i can't send or reply on my writeblr help :'] i must return to recruiting mutuals
