3. try writing when you’re tired, aka when your inner critic is asleep. (via @ren-c-leyn)

4. play with poems & short stories to give your brain a break. (via @ren-c-leyn)

5. try changing your font, maybe to something less professional, so the font doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a professional/stressful setting. (via @ren-c-leyn).

thank you guys for 1,000 followers. that’s freakin nuts.

we’d like to celebrate you. so we’re doing a giveaway of sorts!

1. movie trailer

only one person will be winning this prize! they take a really long time to make so i can’t give out very many. there is a sample trailer above (it’s not the best, yours will probably be more high quality because i am a perfectionist when it comes to that kind of thing). if you’d like to enter the drawing, comment your favorite song down below and you’ll be entered. the drawing ends exactly two weeks from today, so on the 13th of september. i will message you if you win and grab everything i need from you. good luck!

2. movie poster

a movie poster for your book. thank you to the anon who suggested this! i don’t have any examples because i don’t wanna spend a ton of time making an example one.... but it’ll be pretty epic. just leave an ask or send me a message @tobiwestport detailing your wip and the basis of it, so i can create something accurate that you will enjoy. i will be caping this off after 10 entries, so be quick!

3. mood board

a mood board for your wip as a whole or a character or a relationship in your book. send an ask/message (@tobiwestport) with details of whatever it is you want in your moodboard.

example:

4. mini-playlist

a playlist consisting of 5-10 songs that remind me of your wip, a character in your wip or something in your wip at all. again, an ask or message with details will gaurentee you a mini-playlist!

5. a small piece of writing

i will NOT be writing about your OC’s or wips, because i do not want to portray anyone’s character wrong or anything. however, if you’d like a poem or short story about literally anything, i will write it for you. this is the one i would really like to do, because i need some writing juices to start flowing. if you do this one, you may pick any of the other things i’m “giving away” on top of it! again, asks or messages @tobiwestport are the way you can receive these!

6. if you think of something else you might want

i will approve or reject your idea (most likely approve) and get to work on it for you!

sorry this post is kinda messy, but i wanted to get it out asap.

thank you guys for the support & i can’t wait to see what you guys ask for! if you have any questions just let me know

hi guys! my name is tobi westport, you may know me from @tobiandjane. tobi and jane is a project my friend jane and i embarked on, and although i love that account & will still probably be active on it, i wanted to start an account that was entirely my own.

here’s a small glimpse into my personal (but not too personal) life:

i am a full time student who is interested in literature arts, psychology & creative writing.

my feelings constantly confuse me & i feel bad for all my friends who have to deal with my constant mood changes & phases.

my zodiac sign is cancer (explains the sentence above this one).

my myers-briggs is an infp!

i have a cat named esther. if you hate cats, your mind will be blown when you meet esther. she’s one of the sweetest cats out there & i’ve converted a few cat-hating people into cat-tolerating people with her. although she is a little destructive...

i have a few fun goals set in plan:

- start a youtube channel when i become an official college student

- at some point in my life, i want to convert a van into a living space and travel

- i would like to write a short story by the end of this year!

now that you know a few things about me, here are a few things about my writing. hence writerblr, y’know.

through frosted windows

through frosted windows is a wip i’ve had in the works since march. i’ll be honest, i haven’t touched it in over a month. my inspiration has been sucked dry, but i do have some posts about it on @tobiandjane if somehow you found this post without coming from that account.

this wip is still very important to me & i will be coming back to it, i just have been swamped with school and i feel like i don’t have as much time to write anymore. ironic since i literally just made a new writerblr.

short story

i have a small short story plan written out and i think this is something i will start plotting and writing within the next few weeks when i can catch a few extra moments.

what this writerblr is for

this writerblr is for my projects & investing my time into reading other people’s projects & reblogging them & stuff. i won’t be posting tips or memes or anything on here, that will be reserved for @tobiandjane!

some accounts that have/are inspiring the general aesthetic of this account: @vviciously (who isn’t active :( i hope you’re doing okay) @glittcrpeach @diabhals @psych-analysis @nepeinthe @melwrotethat @euphoriecs @wildares @kaatiba @nephaliism @theforgottencoolkid @ecririe @quilloftheclouds @crypticsx

looking for more writeblrs to follow! I’m not particularly picky in terms of, like, what genres y’all are writing for because I’ll read most anything and I think it’s nice to read things out of your comfort zone. (But that’s just me.)

all that being said, I’m looking for writeblrs who write or post about any of the following:

writing advice/memes

world building

lgbt characters

characters of color!

jewish or muslim characters

dystopias/utopias

crime

fairytales

fantasy

historical fiction

mystery

paranormal

romance
