Pease reblog!!!! And thank you all so much for the support!!!

summoning some writeblrs!

this might look like i’m fishing for attention (i don’t know maybe i am) but if you’re a writeblr who writes poems, edits writings to look *dare we say* aesthetic, post excerpts of your bomb ass novel, teases your readers with scripts that begin on god knows where, and basically just writes in the midst of this horrible pandemic with the care of being somehow noticed and praised, please reblog or reply or slip in my dm’s so we could follow each other and MAYBE just MAYBE cry and fall in love with each other’s writings.

i would also really love to know your names, a song you would love to be played in your funeral (or what people will sing when your ashes are scattered or kept in a jar), and the first time you knew your childhood was g o n e. i really hate small talk, let’s dig right in the tenderness of our soul!!!!

hey, y’all! I just wanted to give an updated, less messy patreon post to share! and some updated information on what’s going on!

*my mom is still waiting to hear back from unemployment/food stamps, still leaving me as the main income-bringer for the moment. in case this reaches a wider array of people, hi, i’m Katie! i’m 24, disabled, and would love if you could boost this post!

*I offer writing and art commissions, and am also selling a poetry collection over on amazon/PDF’! information HERE!

I’ve posted something every single day for the last three months and that trend’s going to continue! consider checking me out and giving this a boost, if you would!

LOOKING FOR BETA READERS!!

Want to experience magic, a brand new fantasy world, swords, and glimpse the might of a half-demon army? My WIP might be what you’re looking for!

I’m currently recruiting beta readers for The Princess of Light, a Young Adult high fantasy novelette that follows the lengths two rival kingdoms will go to in order to obtain the most powerful embodiments of magic in the universe for the benefit or destruction of humanity.

The story takes place in the kingdom of Enchancia, an incredibly large territory that occupies at least 50% of the planet it dwells on. Faith, trust, and one’s own pride are all thrown on the line when the most revered demigod steps down from high above to bless the royals’ infant daughter with power that could supposedly aid them in the coming war. Any wrong move could be fatal with the enemy kingdom waiting to strike across the border, but when your own god lends you aid, what could go wrong?

The Princess of Light, or PoL, is the prequel of my series, Darkness & Light. It’s a novelette that is 60 pages long with 30.3k words. I’d love for betas to finish by June 30th, but due to the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic, I’ll allow leeway for anyone who needs it during this crisis, especially since some of you may be in school and are adjusting to taking courses fully online (like myself lmao).

-

The PoL is YA High Fantasy!! so anyone with an interest or passion for this genre is welcome and greatly appreciated! It deals with t h e m e s such as:

and t r o p e s such as

Magic is bountiful and swords are a necessity because?? HELLO. Demigods and other half-breeds are also key ingredients to this WIP.

For more elements of this story, check out the PoL’s WIP Bingo!

For the moodboards of the main characters, here’s King Lucian, Queen Ella, The Oracle, and The Queen of the Underworld.

-

If you’re interested, please fill out this Google Form by March 30th!! Keep in mind this is YA and High Fantasy, but they don’t have to be your favorite genres for you to apply!

Even if you’re not interested or life is preventing you from being able to beta-read, I’d really appreciate if you could boost this :) This is my first time hosting a beta-reading so it’ll be trial and error, but I’m looking forward to receiving feedback and FINALLY letting others read my work.

If you have any questions, feel free to DM me (or reblog this with the question)! Thank you for your time!!

Camp NaNo Show & Tell: April 2020

It’s that time of year again, but with a twist, we have new, shared challenges. If you’re forging ahead with Camp NaNo next month, we have a few ideas to help you stay on track.

Show and Tell is a split prompt event of a few ‘find the word’ options to showcase a bit of your writing, followed by a short list of questions about how you’re going. We post once a week, and reblog your answers. You are not obligated to answer every post or every question, but we would love to hear how you’re going!

If you’d like to participate, tell us a bit about your WIP here and we’ll tag you in weekly prompts about your writing and processes during April. Please double check your url, or we won’t be able to tag you correctly.

If you’d like us to reblog your Camp NaNo (or other) WIP Intro, please submit them here, and we can share them.

Stay safe, writers x

Come and join in!

🦉 new fantasy writeblr? do me a solid and reblog this.

We have been thinking with a few writer friends to create a new writeblr event - an opportunity to share updates and news about yourself and find out what fellow writeblrs are currently working on.

The thing about this event is, you don't have to feel pressured to update wordcounts if you didn't write much lately - anything and everything you do creatively counts.

From daydreaming, brainstorming, new ideas, outlining, re-outlining, editing, AUing, moodboards, playlists, drabbles, short stories, poems,... - and ofc writing your wip and updating your stories literally as well.😉

Inspiration from the latest movie, totally unrelated idea that has been hunting you, new realization from an intersting writing article - doubts, difficulties and victories - we want to know it all!

The point of this little event is:

How it works:

Anyone is free to join whenever they want! I will probably pick a day to do a reminder round each week, but you can answer whenever you have time.

If you want to be on the reminder tag list, let me know :)

Tagging: @thewalkingnerdx who inspired the event, @sybil-writes who came up with the wonderful name for it, and @mjmnorwood who expressed interest in it :)

So Said the King (Tag) Blood Upon the Altar (Tag, 2) Ichor (Tag)

I’m also writing WLW and MLM Contemporary Romances: The Transgender Propaganda Society Three Steps of Romance Meet Me in the Rink (to be introduced)

That said – I shall recommend a few writeblrs who write fantasy or have LGBTQA characters or are LGBTQA themselves (or a mix of all of the above), this is not a full list, however:

@sirbeaumains​ @livvywrites​ @quilloftheclouds​ @dove-actually​ @klywrites​ @mvcreates​ @milkyway-writes​ @jc-shay​ @ofinscriptions​ @royalbounties​ @planets-and-prose​ @bookenders
