Writing Tips, Snippets, And More!

I am asked relatively frequently where to start with my fiction, which is an excellent question—there is over half a decade's worth of it now across all genres, much of it free, and who is to say what is most representative? Well, I am, and I shall, and here we are: the official beginner's guide to the yves. Canon. Please pass this one around; I don't quite have a marketing team to do it for me. ^__^

I couldn't begin to tell you. It also appears in relation to the rune Laguz (ᛚ).

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

Imposter Syndrome

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

If your enjoyment of your art is innately tied to how much engagement you receive you may need to remove engagement from the equation and start creating for you again

The best way to vet illustrations is to find the source and see if the original artist/poster has things in that same art style; whether or not they post wips, sketches, etc.; or whether they straight up claim or display more obviously AI art. Going over visual art with a fine-toothed comb is almost never going to help you and will result in false positives and therefore false accusations against actual artists.

Hey hi hello, welcome! Most of you who have been on writeblr awhile have probably seen me around, but for the last…however long it’s been, I’ve taken an unplanned semi-hiatus from writeblr. But in the last few weeks, I’ve started taking massive steps in prioritizing my mental health, so I think I am ready to return to writeblr in full again!

For those who don’t know me, I’m Jules! I use they/she pronouns and I’ve been floating in and out of the writeblr sphere since 2018. I’m a part time library assistant at a community college, which yes, definitely means I spend more time googling than writing, but hey, if you need to find a very specific post about memory loss and enemies to lovers tropes, then I’m your guy! (Just ask @revenantlore). In my writing, I tend to explore themes of grief, nostalgia, queerness, and self-discovery, with my WIPs often including:

Complex familial relationships, primarily with siblings and overprotective parents

m/f bisexual mcs and love interests

Rivals to lovers/best friends to lovers

Disability rep

Found family

ShEnaNigAns

I’ll admit I’ve been bad at staying on top of engaging with the community in the past, hence the unplanned hiatus, but I’m trying to get better at it! So please feel free to tag me in any tag games or pop into my inbox, and I’ll try to do the same. :)

My WIPs

Mary Shelley's birth killing her mother

Mary Shelley's own baby dying

Mary Shelley never really getting her father's love and respect

Mary Shelley's close friendship with Lord Byron, who had been exiled from society

Mary Shelley being exiled from society herself following her elopement

Mary Shelley "breaking up" a marriage where the wife later (but before the book's publication) killed herself

A bad dream

Erasmus Darwin's experiments

A holiday in a place with history about alchemists

A ghost story contest

the morning before the ceremony

Like there's some big-ass Great Public Council Meeting about some important politicial issue, Roman Senate style, and there's two opposing sides about the issue, but also a big chunk of undecided people who could be persuaded to vote either way. And there's someone in attendance, who hasn't spoken out loud about the issue anywhere but sides strongly with one of the options. And just when the dispute is about to swing to the wrong direction, they sense a seizure about to happen, and it's too late for them to try to get out of there or really even warn anyone.
