thorny vines grow between the spaces of my ribcage

hi i’m robyn and i’m newish to writeblr/bookblr and i mostly post bookish stuff tho sometimes i post writing stuff and i’d rly like new people to follow so if you post writing and/or book stuff just like this post and i’ll probably follow you!!

So, @eternalwritingstudent brought up a great point about support in the writeblr community, and lack thereof.

Putting your work out there is hard enough. But when you don’t get any response it can get really disheartening. Yes I know we’re not entitled to people’s likes and reblogs but when it happens it’s such a motivating feeling- something which isn’t seen or emphasised enough on this platform.

The writing community has always been about helping and supporting and motivating other writers, and that is trending downwards on tumblr. And I want to try and change that.

So I’m starting a #writerallforone - where writeblrs of all age and popularity can work together to support everyone and not just a select few.

I’ve opened my submissions for this very reason, and I hope other writeblrs will do the same. So if you have a piece of writing, a mood board or artwork etc you want to share, submit it (following guidelines,) and I’ll queue it up for you.

I’m also starting a #writeblrff - writeblr follower Friday, where you tag your favourite writeblrs for others to follow.

Will this get many notes? I don’t believe it will. But if even a few writeblrs join me, then we can start to make a difference. Please let me know if you would like to join me!

bullet points: the only thing you write is bullet point fic. or short fic. it’s good writing, it’s just never as long as you want it to be. you envy those who can write 50k epics at the drop of a hat. and they, in turn, envy you.

WIP Central: you last completed a fic in 2009. your folders are full of nameless fics crying out for attention. you cannot open them without a surge of guilt. in spite of this, you open another document, and begin another fic.

word counter broke: this one, you tell yourself, will be a measly 2k. it is not. you watch in creeping horror as the counter climbs first to 5k, then to 11k. you still have six major plot points left to go. the fic is expected to clock at 23k but knowing you, will reach 50k. you have a sequel planned. there is no end in sight.
