sometimes i wonder if i'd ever receive that kind of support or that kind of acknowledgment. :>

but then again, i'm just one lousy writer. i just try and do my best but not great

i long gave up on the idea that i might be able to write an epistolary (bcs i get inside my head too much) but i see idris and rozan in my head. they are making noise. the story is alive and changing.

my brain just wouldn't move. plus i've got some work ~

writing sprints work omg

you really do get to know more about your characters the more you write them

these two (m & r) never fails to inspire me when it comes to writing

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.

I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.

Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Yes! Write it anyway

as i was plotting the outline for HITN i realized that the initial idea i had for the opening; the hook; had completely changed. it altered a core need for the character which in turn altered some major plot points

but i am up for the challenge

You have to accept where you are in order to move forward.

Right now, my creative endeavors allowed room for me to immerse myself deeply in the worlds my characters live in. Even more so, seeds of stories bloomed as I continued to explore.

What no one tells you about writing is that it's a constant labor of self-acceptance.

Testifying here that consistently creating small movements in a creative projects makes the biggest impact. I used to berate myself at how my process is unlike those writers that can sit down and just simply write while my brain demands certain things to be done.

Hi, Raina! I DM'ed you on Insta!

I'm the girl asking around to interview professional mermaids 🤭🤗

tell me why i want to write a zombie story

Eursulon, Ame and Suvi, the heroes of The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One, the first campaign from actual play podcast Worlds Beyond Number, stare down a Dreadnought of the forces of Gaothmai engaged in combat with Imperial Skyships. Ame’s Fox familiar is also there.

Last week, episode 47 of The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One, titled “The Battle of Twelve Brooks Part 1”, premiered on @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, and after months of waiting, this moment, rendered here in stunning visual by the incredible @kortizart.bsky.social —

update: i didn't lose the spark. it became a firework. a volcanic eruption.

which is good so i hope to hone in on my disciple to continue showing up for this story ~

i'm starting to realize how important themes are in the genesis of my writing process bcs where i root everything

🌻i immerse myself so much in the world and characters i have that i become them

🌻i have a habit of embedding scenes into songs but more often that not the scenes aren't connected to the songs, it's the ambiance i rely on bcs i *can't* see in my head

🌻 i interview ppl who are in the same industry as my characters

when it comes to writing stories, i tend to approach it with careful deliberation and research—almost standing between obsession and embodiment of my characters and the world they live in.

🌻i like to do some in-depth research; books abt the jobs my characters like to do, their quotidian life.

Hi to my followers, please follow us for new #WritingTips and relatable writing posts every other day!

I'm not sure I can write a scathing (or negative) reviews, honest ones, sure—just not entirely negative bcs i, as a writer, am sensitive to critiques.

so i struggle a lot coz i always put myself in the writer's pov.

btw, that's my personal medium acct

"It’s messy. It’s painful. It’s beautiful. It’s real. And it’s a story that will stay with you long after the last note fades out."

This is my favorite stories from last year; and honestly, I don't think I am fit to write reviews coz I am just fangirling over them.

The Economy of Expression: A Poet’s Way of Communicating Unlike writing prose, where you can describe the whole ocean, poetry is like capturing the ocean in a teacup.

I guess this is why I thoroughly enjoyed researching and deep diving on the way poets express themselves.

Here's another article I wrote:
www.themanuscripteditor.com/post/the-eco...

"Does the demand for quick consumption reduce poetry’s depth, or does it refine the art of saying more with less?"

I have so much respect towards poets who write so freely, seem to express everything all at once within the confines of meters and numbered lengths of words.

You’ve Read Shakespeare Without Reading Shakespeare Glean a bit of history and writing techniques from one of the greatest literary geniuses of all time, William Shakespeare!

"His exploration of universal themes—love, power, and betrayal—shows that writing rooted in timeless emotions remains relevant across generations."

Researching and drafting this write-up made me want to go on a Shakespeare-induced reading binge
