'Rule the world' by walk off the earth plays as i write, feeling powerful.

The legend says that if a writer sheds tears in what they write, those tears will reach whoever reads it.

there are two moods reading something you wrote months ago:

this is garbage

i am a GODDESS

'this will get me to the pulitzer prize or a madhouse' — me writing.

New to ye olde Writeblr and looking for mutuals, whether from Writeblr or not, to stay motivated and read a whole bunch of stuff in the meanwhile!

Now, you, (You! Lovely individual on the other end of the screen!) might be wondering— "What have I got to gain from that? Who art thou, mysterious person? Say, I beg of thee!"

I shalt say!

🎩 I am vdL, an 18 year old Dutch writer— currently hosting my mortal flesh in the Netherlands, yippie-ya-yo!— who has yet to actually write more than ten thousand words on one story.

🎩 I mostly write and read fantasy stories, usually of the more lighthearted, whimsical variety, primarily aimed at a younger audience, though I do write (and read!) fiction (sometimes not even fantasy! I thoroughly enjoy horror and mystery novels as well.) aimed at older age groups as well.

🎩 I'm planning on writing an actual novel series once I finish my worldbuilding— wretched! Wretched worldbuilding!

Now, I hear you ask, "this all sounds marvelous! Marvelous indeed! But alas, I wisheth moreth!"

🎩 Not only shall I share my work, I will read yours as well, or watch yours, or closely listen to it, whatever medium it is in! Just like a soon-to-be-dinner fish, I'll be fully hooked.

🎩 If you ask it of me, I'll provide feedback to your stories! I can't confirm it'll be actually good, or half-way decent, but hey, it's feedback! You can print that out and eat it for dinner if your royalties come in late!

🎩 I love interacting with people, so whenever you reach out to chat, I'll be sure to interact! (Except if you're a bot or trying to flirt with me, or a bot AND trying to flirt with me. My last robot romance failed disastrously, and I'd rather not have a repeat of that.)

Of course, non-Writeblr folks are free to interact.

I look forward to meeting you!

Fun Fact - or not so much

Okay, so, in my new book, there's a couple who is based off of Patroclus and Achilles and y'all know that quote from Song of Achilles right?

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

My couple has various moments where "Patroclus" recognizes "Achilles" right away by the sound of him walking, or how he smells, or (when he's dying) by his touch as a reference.

I did that at random. I didn't plan it but still happened.

And now I'm crying.

I just love my ocs relationship

I mean, I'm always down for enemies to lovers but whatever profound hatred and honest disdain they have for each other's very being that will eventually turn to the sweetest, most kind type of love Amalie and Khaos have going on?

That shit is making me go FERAL

REAL

Like, bro, we’re not all furries, we’re just trying to make you have a better reading experience than

‘Yells’ and ‘says’

ALSO these terms are EXCELLENT characterization opportunities for showing the reader the relationship between characters

So, no, it’s not furry speak

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

OK now that I hammered out a few more Frankie fics the creative juices are flowing and I can finally finish my Will Miller -Sugar Daddy Edition that I started in *checks notes* July 🫠

guys is it just me or do the Tumblr blogs that flirt with asks make my knees buckle like

i need people to ask me about my story or I'm never writing it
