The biggest lie I tell myself is that Iโll use social media more/try to make friends in similar communities (because gods do I need more writer friends). Instead, I just disappear for months on end

I go through phases where I either do better handwriting or digitally so I just have an amalgamation of notebooks full of chaos. But what works works! What sort of things are you writing? ๐

If they have a sharp comeback, I can add it in weeks after the conversation was written and it's like no time has passed for them.

Thank you! Good luck to you too! I donโt think Iโve ever read any medical fiction but it definitely sounds like it could be an interesting genre if youโve got any recommendations? Or want to share anything? ๐๐
31.01.2025 10:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0High fantasy with a fixation on changelings and an overarching theme of dealing with revenge as a manifestation of grief. I donโt really have a working title or set summary for it just yet but Iโm having a lot of fun with it!!
31.01.2025 10:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I am very eager to find other #fantasy or #queer writers or authors to befriend on here. That, or try to find spaces where I can scream about the endless ideas in my head without someone thinking Iโm insane ^_^

Since I first learnt how to write, it feels as if Iโve never been able to stop. Iโm currently working on my first queer fantasy book and hoping to make some friends as I do!
