…but when you read it later, something just feels off?

Sometimes it’s not a big problem. Just a line that needs softening, a reaction that feels a bit too quick, or a moment that needs more space.

Most writers go through this.

You ever finish writing, close your doc… then open it again a few minutes later?

And suddenly you’re not reading it the same way anymore.

A line that felt strong now feels off. The emotion doesn’t hit like it did before. A character’s reaction feels slightly wrong… and you can’t ignore it.

That shift? That’s where your mistakes start showing themselves.

Every writer has that moment. The difference is who admits it.

If this happened to you today, don’t scroll past this.

aaaaaand here it is! the full spread for YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUDDENCE, coming some time in february!!

here's the back separately, since it got mostly covered by the synopsis :^D

WORLDBUILDING THROUGH CULTURE

Writing a Secondary World book or series, and need some help constructing your setting?

Worldbuilding is more than just maps!

Creating a believable secondary world, with consistent internal logic, language, taboos, and politics can be tricky.

Luckily, this workbook is here to help you devise the best possible setting for your #SFF story.

Based on a lecture series I used to do one be before the pandemic, this is a workbook that's really meant and designed to WORK.

My name is Ley (she/they) and I'm a fiction writer/editor based in the PNW. I've been off Tumblr for a few years, but I found myself missing the writing communities I was a part of. I'm excited for the chance to find more people who share my interests!

About Me:

I have a BA in English with a minor in Creative Writing

I identify as queer

I write mostly SFF, but I like genre-hopping and fanfic

I'm a Libra sun, Aquarius moon, Pisces rising

I can feel my neurodivergency in my bones but I don’t yet have a dx on paper

I'd really like to connect with other writers like myself, who got their start in fandom spaces and are working to take their writing from a hobby into a career.

I'll mostly be talking about creative writing on my blog, whether that's talking craft and sharing writing advice or posting my own work. I like to describe my style as "character-forward," which is just a fancy way of saying that I like disgruntled protagonists that think too much.

I'm also absolute fandom trash, so you'll likely see me engaging with a lot of that, too. I wish I could say I’ll be chill about it, but I’ve unfortunately never been chill about anything in my life.

I am always so, so excited to talk about other people's writing projects, so feel free to drop an ask anytime to tell me about your work! I also love to talk way too much about my other interests, so definitely hit me up if you think we have something else cool in common.
