Hello writeblr ! This is my introduction post ! You can call me oblongue (iâm french) she/her. (iâm over 18).
I like to write original fiction. I really want to improve my writing, so Iâm either looking for advice or hunting prompts :) I am very shy with my writing (and I write in french) so for now Iâm only sharing my art here (which can be found under the tag #sketchbook).
(I reblog mostly writing advice and resources, so check #writing advice, #writing prompt, #writing inspi if youâre looking for something like this)
(I also reblog lots of other stuff, donât mind me (and my love for inception or my current fixation.s))
About writing, I âenteredâ the game with nanowrimo last year and my current project :
Heck Alek (working title, I need silly names for my files) #heckalek
[YA fantasy novel ; first draft ; 36K and waiting for me to catch up.]
Itâs a fantasy novel (in need of a lot of worlbuilding) with a wide range of magic (elemental, curses, bonds, healing... itâs a mess). Weâre following Eyka and her brother Alek (former protagonist, hence the current title), two young mentalists. Eyka is determined to compete in the legendary Tournament to prove herself. What price is she really willing to pay to achieve her dream?
Iâm also interested in SF so my other WIP is :
The/La Base (again, no great with titles) #LaBase
[SF novel, 8K of trying to figure things out, notes, drawings, comics hhh].
an autonomous spacial ship that really is a giant Petri dish to see how (if) humanity can survive in space without a planet;
Eddie Hawking, a tired Captain in need of a new crew while grieving her old crew;
Aurora Lane, a new recruit.
My great joy is also writing some clichĂ© choose-your-own-adventure book, because writing choices in a story is so fun! The current one is called âLa SphĂšre de ProspĂ©ritĂ© (The Prosperity Globe). I planned it when I was 10 years old, and its been waiting for me since. Itâs clichĂ©, itâs adventure in a dangerous and weird land, itâs dear to my heart. (Itâs heavily inspired by the series Grail Quest by J.H. Brennan)
Whatâs happening right now ?
I decided to join the original fiction big bang as an author and produce something in english (so hopefully I will be able to share it here). Itâs my goal for 2021 (also finish my choose-your-own-adventure novel but shhh).
Itâs called Alchemists (for now). Itâs outlined, there is chapters, there will be character moodboards, maybe a playlist (I like having music to set the mood). I will introduce it properly when Iâm ready. Itâs about (suspense) alchemy! and two men needing to team up and finding your way through the dark. [edit] it is now available to read! Start reading Embers barely showing here!
Iâll try to do some moodboards and collect advice on writing and worldbuilding to help my writing :)
I like reading about others WIPs, writing advices, nanowrimo, prompts, memes...
Iâd love to meet fellow writers ! Tell me about what you are writing, what you enjoy about writing ! If youâre another writeblr, reblog this and Iâll follow you ! ~ oblongue
