Thinking about characters changing their names.. characters changing their names to run from the past or to reclaim their selfhood or to deny something. Characters who don't remember their names. Characters who can't forget. Etc. And yes of course because they're transgender

turns out the solution to my plot problems was a horrible father figure

i have a skeleton of an outline‼️

crying and sobbing y'all when people said that you only add scenes that advance the plot they didn't JUST mean the overarching plot. they meant the plot of the book... entirely. like a conversation between two friends can advance the plot by characterizing them and grounding them with a meaningful relationship. if your book doesn't have "filler" it's missing emotional beats. which are plot. which are important. fun and whimsy aren't mutually exclusive from what "needs" to happen in your book. the advice isn't bad it's just taken too literally stop come back.

Hi! writeblr! big ole introduction post ahead!

Some of you may have known me before as Grimm (@/hallowedfury). I had a rough mental stint that resulted in me deleting my blog and all of my posted writing. In hindsight, I regret taking it all down. I’m in a much better place now (thank you sunshine and warm weather), and have decided that sharing my writing is something I want to try again.

I will be using this account to “advertise” and reupload my writing. I have two I will be posting: Cusp of the Mend and Here Comes the Reign. If either of these stories interest you, feel free to follow along as I post them! I will make other posts in the future to figure out tag lists if anyone wishes to be on them!

Intros to my work:

Cusp of the Mend

This story follows a woman named Zandri Ma’ye, born in ~1000 BCE Peru. Born human, the story begins with her transformation into a vampire. Follow along in her first person POV, navigating a life as a creature she hates, and trying to find a way to fix her broken family that has been torn apart by vampirism. She also finds love <3

Here Comes the Reign

Reign is our main character in this one, and her story is told in third person. Born to a cruel human king, Reign becomes steadfast friends with the large beast that's kept in the dungeons. She quickly comes to find that he is no ordinary beast, and she is no ordinary woman. Join Reign as she learns to traverse a new world of dragons and learns about the world she belongs to.

In the Middle Ages, it was very common to wear a book case on the belt. Book of Hours, Bible, Breviary etc and they were thus at your fingertips.
