beautiful women covered in blood. you agree. reblog.
Does anyone know if there are any books out there that start like a typical ‘I can’t decide who I love!’ love triangle but ends with all three of them dating each other??
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am seven
and my reply is
pink
because i am a girl
and pink
is a princess color.
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am ten
and i like
green
because a boy told me that pink
is lame and girly.
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am thirteen
and i tell them
purple
it is unique and spunky
like i want to be.
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am seventeen
and i just say
red
i do not say
it is bright and angry at the world
as i am
i cannot form the words to express
all of my frustrations
so i paint my lips with
rage.
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am twenty
and it’s pink
i remember the joy
of being a child
i reclaim the freedom
of femininity
because i cannot remember
what my shoulders felt like
before the depression
hung from them.
i am asked about my favorite color.
i am twenty-six
and my answer is
brown
it confuses most people
they don’t see it
they may think of dirt
and dust
and dead things
but it is coffee with friends
and the chocolate chip cookies
my mom used to make.
it is my hair
and my eyes
amber and gold
in the sun
and i love myself
again
My dash is a bit slow. I think only two people I follow ever post anymore.
If you’re an adult (18+) and you write original fiction, maybe like or reblog this so I can follow?
I can’t promise I’ll follow automatically, but chances are higher if you(’re)
⭐ Write and read something other than YA
⭐ Actually post about writing, or post your actual writing, rather than mainly posting fandom and shitposts
⭐ Write literary and/or experimental fiction (this includes literary genre fiction too, e.g., literary/experimental scifi)
⭐ Not an anti-intellectual (”Classics Bad! Books for adults are all boring and about divorce! YA and fanfic are superior!” - not interested in this mentality)
⭐ Keep social justice and current events posts to a minimum unless it’s relevant to writing (to be clear, I am a queer leftist. But I want a writing-centric dash and I get this kind of thing elsewhere)
Side note, I’m not a new writeblr. I used to be @inkvials
The Weekly Writing Update #19
12.10.22
No update this week. I’ve been dealing with work and being sick. I have had absolutely no time to sit down and write or even brainstorm ideas, so I’ve decided to call this past week a blank week.
THEPROCRASTINATINGNOVEL -- A Writerblr intro
This blog used to be something else, but I recently deleted everything and turned it into my writerblr! So, yayyy!
Howdy! I'm Alex, I am 18 years old, and I've been writing since I was 10. I started this Writerblr to track my progress to hopefully motivate myself to actually finish one of my many, many wips.
I mostly write fantasy, but I'd like to try writing a wide range of genres. I used to read a LOT. I still read, but I'm getting myself back into the habit of reading more.
Bi, She/They. I’m a Leo and INTP. Im a very shut in person and don’t get the chance to leave my house very often.
Interests;
🌵 Anime & Manga
🌵 Video games
🌵 Reading & Writing ofc
🌵 Pedro Pascal ♡
I have a bad habit of spending hours daydreaming about my wips and obsessing over details and planning, and by the time I have the motivation to write, no words come to mind. It is very frustrating, but I can sometimes combat this by switching from typing to writing on paper to force the words out.
♡*゚My current wip is an unnamed novel series that I have been planning for a year and a half. The first draft is being written right now, so a lot is still up in the air. So far, it's a collection of snippets over various docs, notion pages, and journals that I'm wrangling into a book. It has magic, gods, and a super hot witch-warrior who goes by Percival. Also my son, Alden. We love Alden.
I plan to post weekly writing updates, showcasing progress or where I'm currently at. These updates should come every Saturday at the end of each week, if you wish to follow my journey :)
✩ POV: 3rd person Omniscient is my usual writing style for any wip
➸ To have the first draft of my wip completed by the end of the year. If not, I wish to at least have a good chunk of it done. Hopefully life doesn't get in the way too much
➸ To meet and make friends with other writerblr's. Don't be afraid to come talk to me!!

The Weekly Writing Update #23
1.7.23
First update of the new year! And I actually have a bit of progress!
I’m in the process on deciding on a huge but slight change in the plot/character subplot, still deciding. But other than that, I actually did write a few hundred words of the first chapter! Which is a very good start. I need someone to harass me into keeping this one though, so I don’t chicken out and change this later. PLEASE (I’ll probably just get my boyfriendddd~~ to do it)
It’s slow progress this week but it’s progress, which is more than I can say for the past few weeks.
LOVE YOU ALL,
The Weekly Writing Update #2
08.13.22
Week two!!
I’m a few hundred words in. I’m a bit slow, but I’m making progress. Right now I’m just finding the right wording and putting the pieces I have in the right places so that this mess somewhat resembles a story.
⇨ I want to create a more consistent schedule. Maybe writing 200 words a day. It’s not a whole lot so I don’t feel overwhelmed, but not so little that a weeks worth is still major progress. This could lead to a chapter each week (if I can stick to this plan)
⇨ I have a character that I don’t know what to do with. The plot has gone through so many changes, I don’t know how to fit him in without overloading the plot, but I also don’t want to just get rid of his character
That’s it for this week! It’s not much, I’m hoping to have more progress next week.
XOXO~
The Weekly Writing Update #14
11.5.22
oh my. god. I’ve been so busy I didn’t even notice it was Saturday. UPDATE DAY
ok so, I started writing chapter one (only a couple hundred words, but it’s something) and I really like this version so hopefully I stick to it, pray for me.
Other than that, not much. But I'm happy to have finally started WRITING again, instead of just staring at an empty google doc waiting for it to come to me. So this is good.
