I’m Only Following 67 Blogs, I Definitely Need More Blogs To Follow

A moodboard for ‘Eliza‘, an introvert florist by @chloromantis. I hope you like it! Requests for OC aesthetics are open.

You don't want to see me suffer (it's not entertaining).

Hey everybody!

I've been hanging around on this blog for a while now. Seeing all your amazing projects combined with the enthusiasm of the lovely @anightravensecho and @dreamsofbooksandmonsters has convinced me to introduce myself a little more clearly ^^.

My name is Anne. I'm a student and enthusiastic reader and writer. I started this blog because I make aesthetics moodboards when I'm stressed and I enjoy talking about writing projects. I thought I should combine the two and make fanart for WIP's and OC's. I'll certainly continue this, but I want to throw in some more writing-related stuff, too!

I used to be hooked on fantasy, and though this genre still has a special place in my heart, I now read (and write) anything and everything. I play a lot with diversity and (art-) history in my work. My current WIP is called Elementary (as a working title). It's a historical fantasy, set in England around 1800. It’s about a band of traveling artists/magicians (The Elements), each of them having left their homes and joined the group for their own reasons. I follow a couple of them throughout the story as they slowely split up.

I'd love to hear all about your work! Please do come into my inbox for a ramble, a question, a talk, a rant or to request an aesthetic moodboard. And maybe like or reblog this, so I can check out your blog!

Love and happy writing! 

Oh right I just remembered what I got on here for– MY WRITEBLR FRIENDS, if you are doing nano and you want some story asks throughout nano and well wishes on your project, please reblog to your writeblr blog! Mutual not necessary, any nano participant may reblog! Asks start tomorrow!

hi reblog this for a tiny doodle of a mystical creature based on ur blog in ur inbox

Tin sounds like such an awesome character!!! Which are your favorite facts abt her? Also, in your current wip, which character is your favorite? Least favorite? Why? Ya know what? Just tell me what are your favorite parts of your whole WIP! I really want to hear abt it!! (Sorry abt such long ask, is just that your project really sparked my curiosity XD)

Don't apologize! I am literally smilinglike crazy over here behind my screen. This is the first time I'veshared anything about my project with the outher world and you haveno idea how happy these compliments and questions and the generalinterest are making me! Thanks so much!

Oh, I love Tin! I'mso glad you think she's cool.  Here's some facts about her: *She's an activist at heart. At the start of the story, she joins astrike and then gets into a duel because someone talked shit abouther friend. She won't let you do that. She has no chill, but shereally does want the world to be a better place. * She named hergun after the only one of her brothers that did not ignore her. *She wears men's clothes for practical reasons. * If she getsoverwehlmed by any emotion but anger, tears well easily and she hatesthat.* She was part of a gang of yought criminals for a while.They were all boys and refused to let her in at first, but she foughtone with such feriousity that she scared the hell out of them. Theywere her gang after that.

Choosing a favorite is terrible!I've got so many characters in this story and I love all of them. Ithink Tungsten is one of my favorites because he's just such a wellmeaning sweetheart, but he never seems to catch a break. I enjoywriting Mercury, simply because he's a loud and intense soul whotalks in dramatic monologue. And I suppose I like Fer a lot. He'sthe one that started the group. He seems very tough and cool, but hedoesn't really like himself at all. All his self-worth comes fromholding together his band of outcasts, who he consideres his adoptedkids (he'd only admit this under extreem stress).

A leastfavorite is even harder! I have a bunch of characters that I'dprobably hate in real life, but I enjoy writing them. My leastfavorites right now are Espen and Nicholas, two of the rivals of theElements, but that's simply because I haven't yet put that mucheffort into to them. My favorite part of  my whole project isthe characters, really. I'm not that good at plot, though I amtrying, but I really enjoy having these eleven characters interact,bond and fight and bicker. I also love creating the world aroundthem. I like playing with history and casually incorporating realpeople or events. I also worked hard on making the magic in thisworld very tangible (it's translated, so it sounds a little rusty): 

'Magic swirled thick as fog abovethe Thames. Though Tungsten could not see it, only able to feelthe current the way you just smell scents and hear noice, he imaginedit as an endless amount of golden dust, dancing without any relationto the wind.' 

and 'The magic lay beneath hisfingers, a piano, ready to be played.' I’m sorry, this got a little out of hand. If you are interested, please come and talk to me about it more, or tell me about your own projects! (I’m still up for making aesthetic moodboards for OC’s).

Help!

So this is not writing-related, but I’d love it if some of you could help me out! I am considering studying in Dundee, but I have no idea what the place is like. Has any of you ever been to Dundee? Care to tell me something about it? I’d love you forever for reblogging this message and helping me gather some information!

I once wrote a fairytale where a girl lived on the border between two realms, and everytime she fucked something up, two princes came running down to save her. After about sixteen times, the princes decided to teach her how to fend for herself. Long story short, the princes fell in love with eachother and the girl got a sword. I feel this was some quality writing from 15 yo me.

Write me a story where the two guys in the love triangle give up on the girl and date each other.
