the past 24h I've been working on my Arthurian legend inspired romantasy story more consistently than I've worked on anything else, ever, and I need someone to kick my ass to keep me working on it lmao

if there are any writeblr or langblr discord servers you think i'd make a good fit for, please don't hesitate to drop me a message or an ask. i'd love to join, as i'm much more active over there than i am on tumblr.

— nightlylaments. a writeblr reintroduction.

heyy, writeblr! it's been a while since I joined the community, and i've been pretty inactive, so I thought I should reintroduce myself. also, since I have more than one wip now, I thought it was time for me to make a master list even though three of them don't have any posts yet. all of my works will contain black mc's, other poc characters, and mentions of mental health. i mainly write fantasy, but i want to get into mysteries and poetry. i am also tag and ask friendly. i love talking about my wips so pls don't hesitate to ask questions. carrd | pintrest | spotify

about me.

my name is Tee, she/her, 22, and I am an African American from tx.

I'm a recent college graduate with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice

I enjoy writing fantasy, magical realism, and mysteries

in my free time, I like to read, cook, and paint. I also enjoy playing games, photography ( I have two film cameras), and listening/finding new music

I was tagged by @clairelsonao3 a few days ago for this one! Thanks for the funny tag!

First messaging app:

The messaging app (I think it was SMS) on the sparkly flip phone I got when I was four - which was an app I promptly never used because I was too fascinated by that one snake game on the phone. And then WhatsApp some years later and ever since.

Pickles yes or no:

Hell Nah, thank you very much (:

Favorite mythical creature:

Vampires, Elves, and Faeries when it comes to humanoid sentient creatures. For actual magic beasts/animals - phoenixes, dragons, and Krakens!

Longest book series you've read:

I'm not sure - maybe Game of Thrones or the Trials of Apollo

Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo controller layout:

I'm more of a PC gamer myself, but if I had to choose, Playstation all the way! I still have the PS2 I got when I was a kid - and it is still in working order! - and might buy a PS5 someday, though I still prefer playing on my computer.

Best time to get out of bed:

On vacation/weekends, 8 to 9AM (sometimes even 10AM, rsrs) because I'm a night owl that can't function like a normal human being in the mornings. On normal days, 6:30AM / 7:00AM, and I just power through it with the power of sheer will and black tea.

Did you ever have a tamagotchi:

No, but I did like those early online games where you take care of a virtual pet, which is similar. I had a giant collection of the Littlest Pet Shop dolls and Hot Wheels, which I built up over the years like a little gremlin's hoard.

AVEEE <333

Thank you for checking in dear 🥹

Dare I say I'm feeling motivated??? I've been working on Where Paradise Died and Lived a lot recently and went on an absolute tear with it this month––wrote 1k+ words in two days or something so very happy with how it's going! You'll appreciate this, I really owe it to Miss Taylor Swift and Speak Now TV, I heard I Can See You one (1) time and legit rewrote a scene that weekend to better fit the lyrics because the song was just so WPDL coded LMAO RIP. But it also turned out to be a really good chunk of words so I'm actually in love with it?? It will hopefully make an appearance soon, so I'd like to thank Taylor for making this possible lol. (I also was able to see her in New Jersey for the Eras Tour back in May so my ears have been quite blessed recently.)

I haven't even been on the writing side of tumblr for a whole year, and it feels like I've been here all my life. This feels like home and I have made so many writer friends <3

This year has had it's ups and downs, but you guys were definitely one of the best parts for me. We are all so supportive of each other and it feels so great to finally have so people to talk about my writing to.

Thank you to all of my followers, everyone who has ever commented on my work or sent me an ask about it, and thank you especially to @rose-bookblood , @bloodlessheirbyjacques , @memento-morri-writes , @mr-writes , @italiangothicwriteblr , @friendlyneighborhood-writer and so many more people (i'll never be able to tag all of you, but if you see this and you have ever had a friendly interaction with me about writing, consider yourself tagged) for welcoming me into the community, being my writer buddies, fangirling over my stuff and letting me fangirl over yours, and most of all helping me gain confidence in my writing. You guys are the reason I finally started drafting Fractured Stars Falling after years of it just being an idea that not making it beyond some bullet points in a notebook.

I didn't really have any goals for this year, other than to actually start putting my ideas down on the page and start drafting, but I've already accomplished so much more than that.

Writing Goals for 2023:

Finish at least 1 first draft for one of my books in Fractured Stars Falling (it's probably going to be Snow Knight or Sleeping Beauty's Bodyguard), and make a little progress on the others.

Start drafting The City is Ours and Burning Stars (I revised the title)! I'm so close, I just have to give the outlines a little more structure ( really want to do some writing exersizes in January)

Start outlining my witchy wip and vestal virgin historical fantasy wip (and flesh out the characters and name the projects!)

New intros from my blog, WIPs, and characters!

Also masterlist for the writing i've posted on here!

Write something down every day. Even if it's just one sentence for the day.

Make even more writer friends

Hello, @hbxplain!

First off, yes of course I want to be writeblr friends!! The more, the merrier! ❤️

Yes, I am writing a whole musical. A friend of mine is composing for me and together we are writing a really sweet story about family based on semi-real events. It's been such a passion project of mine! I haven't been working on it lately, but hopefully I will soon and then you won't be able to shut me up about it. 😊

And thank you, I'm pretty proud of that title myself. Completely based on real events.

hello everyone! i've been part of the tumblr writing community for a while, and until now I've had this account as a place where I save things that inspire me during my writing process and other tips and tricks, but I wanted to introduce myself and finally interact with some of the other writeblrs out there!!

A bit about me:

i'm Rian (ree-on), im 22 & I use she/they pronouns !

my favorite genres are fantasy, romance, historical fiction, supernatural, and sci-fi

Some of the tropes that currently have me in a chokehold are found family & true enemies to lovers

My current WIP is high fantasy, set in a thriving costal kingdom. my OC is heir to the kingdom and has been taught a non-traditional method of practicing magic. she faces prejudice because of this, but when unexplained magical disturbances plague the land her people look to her to figure it out and save them.

some of the themes and motifs i'm interested in are sacrifice, power, sanity, perspective, and misunderstanding/misinformation

I'm super interested in building complex, believable characters and i want to create a story (and a world) where good and evil aren't so black and white.

I love an anti-hero and im currently exploring my OC's darkness and how it grows and changes her throughout the story
