Here I Am On Writeblr!!!

here i am on writeblr!!!

hello everyone! my name is madeleine! i’m sixteen, i use she/her pronouns, and i’m just a little nervous posting on here. i’ve been lurking in the writeblr tag for a few weeks but until now i hadn’t mustered up the confidence to put myself out there. but hey! i’m excited now. i don’t have enough real-life writer friends. i love seeing people talk about their wips and hearing different creative ideas.

i’ve been writing for about eight years. i adore reading and writing ya. in terms of genres, i’m not very picky, but i enjoy writing horror (though i haven’t experimented too much with it yet) and all kinds of fantasy. i’m also a bit of a hopeless romantic.

my own projects:

most recently, i’ve worked on this weird idea that popped into my head in the middle of the night because apparently my brain only works when it isn’t supposed to. the tentative title is way down in hellebore but. i’m not sure i like it so. very subject to change. it follows three very different kids, all from different time periods and different places in--and out of--the world who mysteriously all end up lumped together in a bleak nowhere town. the last thing any of them can remember is killing someone, intentionally or not.

i also have an unnamed spooky story set in victorian london. it centers around a strange mother and her daughter who are notorious for seances and a family who comes to them, looking for a way to communicate with their recently deceased mother.

anyways. i would appreciate it if you reblog this if you happen to come across it. i really want to interact with/follow new people and enter the community!! thank you!! :)

Stop following writeblrs...

If you start comparing your writing to someone else's and it's starting to affect your confidence as a writer.

If you are afraid to use words like "said" or "looked" because they've told you they are not good enough.

If you think you should force yourself to make an outline or plan ahead just because you've been told you have to.

If you feel your characters are not interesting or flawed enough, just because they don't fit someone else's requirements of what a fictional should be.

If you are too focused on writing in a certain way to actually enjoy the process of writing.

If nothing you write seems good enough because it doesn't fit certain standards.

If you feel like you are not a good writer because none of those "tips" and "advices" work for you.

Write whatever you want, however you want. Not matter how shitty you think your writing is, I promise you someone will absolutely love it.
