Hello Writeblr, Nice to Meet You 💛

Jules, 27 they/them Writer, Reader & Artist (most likely autistic & adhd)

I'm currently writing the first draft of my Kass series (all 5 books at once). It's queer dark fantasy packed with generational trauma & enemies to lovers. My goal is to finish by December, then rewrite everything in 2024.

I've been writing since I was small, so I've already finished multiple novels. Just taking my time to sharpen my skills before publishing. There's no real rush 🐌

Miscellaneous facts about me:

I work from home.

My first language is French.

I studied literature in university.

I've read 114 books so far in 2023.

I've been with my romantic partner 7 years.

Share your favourite books, if you think we could vibe! (or your own books, if you're an indie author) I love exploring different genres & always need recommendations.

DMs are always open 💕

But the string holds the light much too high in the sky and its beating-flapping wings are much too small to reach the right peaks—high enough to see the whole world's secrets

so Moth follows the globular cycle above deep waters full of monsters, unable of letting its strength falter, Forever chasing a rival worthy of combating these night-seas

(Also sorry - I thought I was following your account and your wips but for some reason I wasn't?? Anyway happy world-building Wednesday again ^^)

Happy WBW🌙 I'm answering this a couple days late because time doesn't truly exist online 😌💖 (and no need to apologize about following—I didn't notice either!)

The first thing that comes to mind when I consider bringing a thing/person/place from my WIP into the real world is RUBY! But Kassandra would be be heartbroken & hold a deadly grudge against me. Not sure I want that.

Screw Camp NaNo.

I'm entirely capable of writing 40k words in one month (I wrote 50k last April!), but I don't want to do it this July. This is not defeat, just a decision (hopefully the right one)

I want to keep writing slowly. I want to keep reading & playing video games & prioritizing my well-being. I want to take my bird outside to enjoy the summer.
