#writeblrintroduction

I give in‑depth story reactions, pacing notes, emotional beat analysis, and, if you want, a BookTok content plan drawn right from your story’s strengths.

Genres I adore:  Romance • Fantasy • Character‑Driven YA 

▸ HEKAETES an introduction

▸ ABOUT hello, writeblr! I'm Trystan. I'm in my early 30's, non-binary, transmasc, bi/grayaroace, chronically ill, and neurodivergent. My pronouns are he/him or they/them. And, of course, I'm a writer and aspiring novelist.

I try to write a variety of genres, but most of my fiction is speculative in some fashion. My favorites are fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and romance. I usually have queer characters, and I tend to favor non-binary and trans protagonists.

What else? I'm a caffeine addicted vegetarian, I have a cat and a nano cherry shrimp tank, and I'm trying to be more active on social media, despite the anxiety it gives me.

Below are some links to find me elsewhere, as well as summaries of my current two wips. I'm looking for more writeblrs to follow, so follow or interact with this post and I'll definitely check out your blog!

▸ WORKS IN PROGRESS under the cut

Hello there! I'm Cervus (he/they preferred), a pansexual writer who's from Brazil and has a big soft spot for romances.

I've been a writer for around 6 years now, but only in these past few months have I truly began to flesh my works out and write proper & consistent stories. I'd even dare say that's when I actually gained counsciousness! :'^)

However, I've never shared any of my works to anyone but my closest friends. There's many, many things I know I have to improve on, and I'm actively attempting to better myself at writing them.

Some of my favorite things to write about are historical pieces and detective stories. Though, there's also the dearest, occasional, fun little short stories between my characters that I write here and there. I also like dragons (and other mythological creatures) a very surprising amount. ^-^

I have quite a few works in the making, most of them being historical-inspired, angst-filled stories... I can't get enough of them-- guilty as charged!

Things that typically make me happy to see while reading are:

historical-themed stories.

dragons. quite obviously. '^^

girlbosses. though I do also like some soft characters here and there!

malewives & himbos.

Seeing characters be completely head over heels for their partners-- it's so sweet!

evil or morally ambiguous characters.

flower symbolism.

polyamorous relationships.

fantasy creatures-- but mainly centaurs, werewolves, and vampires.

lgbt+ characters, especially bi/pan folks.

romances.

latine culture representation.

a tiny little bit of soul-crushing, heart-wrenching drama.

I hope to have a fun time & meet lots of new people here! My social skills are a bit rusty, but I pride myself in being able to hold a conversation well, haha!!

Please shoot me a message if you want to talk. I'm always open to meeting new people and making new friends. I promise I won't bite! ^-^

Hi everybody! I’ve been lurking on Writeblr for ages but, since I just finished school, I finally have time and the spoons to make my writeblr introduction! I’ve already reblogged a lot of reference, advice, resources, and inspiration posts on this blog, both for my own use and for anyone with similar interests, but now I’m going to post my own writing as well. 

I’m a queer, poc writer and artist working out of North America. My writing style tends toward weird fiction and fantasy, which means that I read and write a lot of horror, fantasy, urban fantasy, and speculative pieces. I’m most comfortable with short fictions (the shorter the better!) but am dipping my toes into long-form fiction with several novel projects. I also recently fell in love with writing screenplays, so that may rear its head sporadically here as well. I also run a short poetry insta (@un.tethered.dreams) and have plans for several blogging projects as well (updates to come)! 

Beyond creative fiction, I am also fascinated with the craft of writing, what it takes, why some things work and some don’t, etc. I spent some years going to uni for neuroscience in a different life so science, particularly biology, is an ongoing interest. I also draw traditional art and am learning digital art, so you might see some of that on this blog as well. (Can you tell that I have a problem with overcommitment yet?)

My current projects/priorities include:

The Walls Have Ears and Thorns (Working Title)

Genre: Fantasy

Length: Novel (series?)

Stage: Worldbuilding/First Draft

Set in the world of Chinese Wuxia novels with themes and elements from both Chinese history and Western high fantasy, The Walls Have Ears and Thorns follows Yinning (隐宁), our asexual and non-binary protagonist, as they struggle to reconcile past sins, political intrigue, and the possibility that, despite everything, they are deserving of love.

Translation/retellings of Chinese history/myth/folklore (taking suggestions for a better title)

Genre: non-fiction

Length: undetermined, one-shots

Stage: planning/testing

Translations and retellings of stories from ancient Chinese history. These will come out of both Chinese history/reference books and from my own childhood. I'm currently gauging interest in the project and planning how it will work with Patreon and/or Ko fi (because I am currently unemployed and want to build toward self-employment in the creative field). More info here. First sample retelling here. Second retelling here. More details to come.

Herbiary Tarot

Genre: fantasy, reference

Length: Book + card deck

Stage: research

Almost done my research of tarot cards and their interpretations based on the decks I have and reference books. The vision for the final project will be a series of linked drabbles related to each card that lead the reader on an exploration of an imagined realm masquerading as the mundane, rather like how bestiaries look to us now. I’m still undecided whether the drabbles will segue into a plotted story told in snapshots. Next step is deciding whether the deck will be high fantasy or urban fantasy.

Trouble (Working Title)

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Length: Novel (series?)

Stage: Worldbuilding/First Draft

When her aunt Cynthia disappears, leaving only a mysterious voice-mail message, Selena must abandon her life as a university student and bookstore clerk and embrace her heritage as one of the Morriganna, ancient prophets of war and doom, in order to stay alive and save her family. Her first task: decide if she can trust the young man who walked into her bookstore, the latest heir and black sheep to a family of Morriganna hunters.

Daily Flash Fiction

Genre: flash fiction, micro fiction

Length: self-contained

Starting next week, I’ll be committing to writing six pieces of flash fiction a week (one per day plus a rest day). The goal is to get into the rhythm of writing regularly. I’ll be posting these works on my blog and cross-posting here as well. For inspiration, I’ll be working my way through Wikipedia’s list of phobias.

Hello everyone, I’m Noah! You can call me that, or Owl, or I guess anything you want to call me, I’m not that picky. I’m 18 and I use he/him/his pronouns.

As some of you may know, I have another tumblr account that I use to post my weekly sword and sorcery-adjacent fantasy series, The Northkingdoms (you can follow that here, if you aren’t already.) As of right now, chapter 5 just came out, and the whole thing is at about 15k words so go check it out if that interests you.

I decided I would make this account so that I could talk about my other, larger scale projects without clogging the Northkingdoms with stuff that is not Northkingdoms related. Forgive me if this introduction is messy, I’m still new to, and not very good at this tumblr/writeblr stuff.

I’m a really big fan of fantasy, especially epic or high fantasy, although I’m able to enjoy stories of any genre or length. My main influence writing wise would definitely be Robert Jordan’s the Wheel of Time series, but obviously there’s some other stuff influencing me as well, and the second biggest influence constantly shifts depending on whatever I’m reading or really into at the time. I’m also a poetry fan, so maybe I’ll post some of that here as well. 

THE WIPS

WIP THE FIRST: Five Wicked Stories of Darkness

This is going to be the main one I’ll be talking about. FWSoD (working title) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s going to be a ‘short’ story collection thing of five different stories, about 10k words each, that are all vaguely connected, as they take place in the same world. Not dark enough to really call Dark Fantasy, more like Dark Fairytales, at least aesthetically speaking. Could also serve as the launching point for a possible series idea I have that also takes place in the same world. Since I’m aiming for each story to be 10k, I’m shooting for 50k words total.

WIP THE SECOND: To World’s End

TWE is a story about a band of would be heroes venturing forth to save the world. The idea for this came from reading about Long-time Nuclear Waste warnings. The setting is a post-apocalyptic fantasy Earth, where the monuments of our mistakes stand tall as the symbols of new religions. Pretty much if Lord of the Rings was a lot shorter and also had a lovechild with Fallout and then that lovechild had a lovechild with The Stand. I’m not sure about length for this one, I’m thinking somewhere between 75-100k words.

WIP THE THIRD: A Dark and Stormy Night

I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure how to describe this one, as I sort of just randomly started writing it like two weeks ago, and as such the plot isn’t planned out to any degree. Stands out from the other two because it takes place in modern times on planet Earth. All I can really say is that on one dark and stormy night, a woman gives birth to a very strange child, and that’s where the story begins. Somewhere around 60-70k words I think.

And that’s it! I mean, there’s plenty of other ideas kicking around in my head, but I don’t want this list to be like thirty entries long, so I’ll just keep it to these three for now. Yeah, so if anyone who sees this want’s to be on the taglist for any of these (if I can figure out how those work haha) then let me know and I’ll add you! Also, I’d love to spread my wings and meet other writers on here, so reblog if you’re a writeblr (or dm me or something) and I’ll give you a follow!
