Lila's 12 Days Of Writers Self Love

lila's 12 days of writers self love

welcome, writers, to my christmas writing event themed around self love of our writing! far too often during the year (and especially during the holiday season) we put ourselves and our strengths, creativity, and worth last. writers don't appreciate their writing enough, and i would like to make sure some self care is practiced in this stressful time for everyone.

how it works:

each day will follow a piece of writing of yours that fits the prompt list below. these pieces can be 10 years old or 10 minutes old, you can write something specifically for the prompt if you want, whatever!

the prompts are up to your interpretation, meaning they don't have to contain a scene with a hug in it, for example. the scene/piece can represent what a hug feels like to you, and for something for repulsed, the interpretations are endless! there is no wrong way to interpret.

if you want, you can talk about what you like about that piece, how you're proud of it, etc. there is no limit to the self hyping up you can do !!

The event will run from December 1 to 12, to avoid the busyness of the typical 12 days.

here are the prompts:

hug

crown

repulsed

blood

flower

clothing

god

music

dance

magic

kiss

ending

Winter Writeblr Ask Game!

My October-themed ask game went over pretty well, so here’s one in time for December.

Like before, it’s a mix of OC questions, writer questions, and calls to share snippets:

❄️ Snowflake: talk about a unique trait or aspect of your favorite OC. Have they been living rent-free in your brain? It’s time to talk about them!

🔥 Fireplace: what type of scene are you most comfortable writing? Emotional, action, dialogue-heavy?

🥶 Ice: what’s been the most difficult scene for you to write?

☕️ Hot Cocoa: what do your OCs do if they need reassurance or comfort? Do they talk to someone/fall back on a certain activity?

🧤Gloves: share a snippet you’re particularly proud of!

🧣Scarf: tell us about a secret your OC has and what would happen if they revealed it.

🌲Pine Tree: share a snippet that shows a character being strong (whether that’s physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.)

🌟Night Sky: what are your writing goals for 2023? Or: how did you feel about your writing in 2022?

🍲 Soup: share a snippet where a character does something kind.

⛸️ Ice Skating: tell us about a skill your OC has. Is it unusual? Something they worked hard on? Does it ever come in handy?

🛷 Sled: how has your writing process changed this year? Or: are you going to try anything new in your process in 2023?

Hello! For the winter asks:

🧤Gloves: share a snippet you’re particularly proud of!

Thanks for the ask!

I know I know this isn't from any wip but I did write a really great description from a horror short story.

Quick narrative summary: Super dedicated scholar is trying to save the library of Alexandria before Emperor Theodosius I can have it destroyed. He finds an old scroll with a protection ritual on the back, collected by Callimachus about the grecco-egyptian god of the city, Serapis.

I shudder to think what would have happened if this statue would have looked at if left to weather the elements. It likely would have been covered in moss, making any hairy areas seem as though the statue was coming to life, and crawling vines would have overtaken it like veins bursting from the skin. Fortunately, this was not the case. Unfortunately, the damages done were far worse. The hound Cerberus at his feet looked almost like a normal dog — only one of his three heads was complete, the other two lacking ears and nose and jowls. The remaining head had what would have been its skull caved in. It made the dog look murderous, eyes narrowed, remains of his latest meal rubble between his fangs. Serapis’ legs and lower toga looked like tree bark, chipped and pockmarked by shards from destruction occurring higher up. His chair was on the edge of toppling over, the back legs knocked clean away. I held up what was once his upright arm that held a scroll from our great library — it had flown halfway across the open space — and I could see matching divots where the arm was used as a club to knock out the legs. Serapis’ chest was caved in, though the rubble in his lap constituted more than the missing chunks from his chest; this was likely where his other arm had ended up. His face was unrecognizable. Upon further inspection, it seemed a fist had done this damage, though no blood had been left on the stone. Holding up my own fist to the veritable pebbles in the crater, the damage seemed to have been done by a similarly sized hand. There seemed to be anger emanating from the statue, though because of what I can only speculate on; perhaps the destruction of the statue itself, or of the city Serapis holds so dear.

happy STS - do you have any decisions in a story that could make it diverge wildly in a different direction? Have you ever thought about an alternate universe with that?

Happy STS!! Answering late again haha

Honestly, I’m not too creative in this lens haha. I have a couple stories that I write with a friend where I like to talk about potential diverging paths and alternative universes, but when it comes to my own stories…often times I feel like I put so much into characters’ driving motivations or fatal flaws that it feels like they really would only choose one option even if more are given. But it also doesn’t help that I rarely actually get to plotting out scenes/plot points out in my stories; can’t change what doesn’t exist :p

However, there’s kind of that line of thought going on with my current story Slips of the Stars, but with the opposite outcome. Because Slips believes that they’re in a story being reread over and over, they believe that any decisions that they, or anyone else, makes is inconsequential, as it always comes to the predetermined ending with minimal changes.

Happy STS - Do You Have Any Decisions In A Story That Could Make It Diverge Wildly In A Different Direction?

[image description: a digital drawing of a dark skin person with glasses and braids, with two braids in the front sticking up oddly, looking towards the right of the screen, holding a juice box. They are wearing a green sweater and have pink ombré highlights in their hair. They look visually unimpressed. The background is a light desaturated orange color with white strips on the top and bottom of the drawing.]

(There are decisions that have significant, lasting effects, but until Slips finds them…they’re just very bored watching the same thing happen over and over no matter what happens beforehand.)
