@pansdora alskjfsldjsdlgkjsdg HELLO I’ve also been pretty inactive on here so you’re not alone!

Holidays are always incredibly busy for me because Quill likes baking and crafting and drawing stuff for presents, which means! TIME. IS VERY LIMITED. Especially for writing. Stack that on top of stress left over from exams and it’s uh. Well, let’s just say that I haven’t been writing very much recently. ^^’ Hoping to get on that soon, though!

Each day of this week, I’m going to post about a writeblr I enjoy, why I enjoy them, and honestly just shower them in affection! A lot of them are gonna come from the discord server I’m in, probably, but not all of them!

Such as today’s Writeblr, @pansdora!

We don’t know each other so well, but you’re so sweet and encouraging despite that! I don’t think anyone has ever just... straight up created a piece of art for any of my stories without me requesting it. Or in this case, somehow before I requested it!

You have such a positive and happy attitude and it shines through in your posts! Also, your writing? It’s gorgeous. It captures all the ethereal auras and spookiness that I adore about darker fairy tales, or books intended to create a sensation of knowing something dark is out there, but perhaps not knowing what. It’s so beautiful!

thank you for sending these!!! ❤️ & no worries, i completely understand!! my writeblr isn’t my main either, haha.

🌺 Your OCs showcase the importance of representation in fiction. Do you have any tips for writers who’re looking to diversify their casts?

first, ask yourself why you imagine them the way that you do. if there’s no real "reason" for it, imagine them a different way—just be careful about playing into harmful tropes & stereotypes!! i don’t really feel qualified to say more than that since i’m white, but writing with color has some amazing resources for people looking to diversify their casts :)

🏵️ Your OCs each have a specific vibe (or look) that make them easy for me to envision while I’m reading. Do you have any tips for writers who want to develop a distinctive aesthetic for their characters?
