Young Woo: Loving me is… hard.

Jun Ho: Yes, it appears so

Young Woo: But are you still going to?

Jun Ho: Yes.

OOOh, hmm, I've just gotta ask about "12.01"! How mysterious, not even an alphabet, just numbers! 👀

oh gosh, we're going back to one of my first wip's...

i think i started this about 4-5 years ago and left it unfinished?

the short version of it is: about a teen who has recurring nightmares about her father's death a minute after midnight, the time the accident happened

frankly, it was a very young me who wrote this, not even realizing that i could write characters who weren't white and could represent my culture instead. clearly, i've grown a lot from there, and while i have a fondness for this wip, i doubt i'll ever go back and finish it haha.

but thank you for the ask!

imagine trying to write your character's background information so you know more about them before throwing them into a plot so chaotic they need therapy and ending up going down a rabbit hole of their whole lives-

author introduction

ABOUT ME

☆ I go by Apple (she/they) though in the past have gone by Iris.

☆ Am in my very late 20s; Filipino (Southeast Asian); neurodivergent; demi & bi.

☆ I write speculative fiction almost exclusively: that means high and low fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi. I’m also trying to embrace the inner romance writer I left behind in my childhood.

☆ I was active on writeblr ‘round late 2019 as irisjaye. ^^ There was no drama or fixed reason for disappearing - my clinical inattentiveness just did its thing.

☆ I am back and testing the waters with writeblr today because I want to pursue my creative writing dreams a lot more seriously. And that includes finding + building community.

☆ I also frequent Twitter and Discord. I co-moderate a very small server for ADHD writers and enjoy impulsively joining servers 😛

ABOUT THIS BLOG

☆ My goal this time is to focus on writing output: be it worldbuilding, excerpts, artwork, story meta, productivity updates, and so on. That means fewer posts that are plain advice, inspiration, prompts, pegs.

☆ I would however love to reblog fellow writers’ writing output, not just my own ^^

☆ With a bias, I would love to support + connect with: * — authors from South, Southeast and Southwest Asia * — neurodivergent and chronically ill authors * — authors writing wlw and nonbinary characters <3 * — authors in their 20s or older! I’m near my 30s and it’s not easy to find writers in my age bracket anymore.

☆ My asks and DMs are open indefinitely. I’m not a speedy replier but I’m very friendly, love sending emotional support, and have been told I exhibit mom or big sister behavior 🥴

☆ Don’t hesitate to say hi 🙋‍♀️

PROJECT INDEX

Could Have Been Stardust: A science fantasy fiction novel that is my main writing project as of August 2022.

[ introduction post • project tag (chronological order) • project page ]

For Future Fiction: A sideblog I carried over from my old account. I reblog interesting images of natural locations, architecture, fashion, faces, creatures, objects, useful for visual placeholders for things you want to describe in writing, or general-purpose visual prompts if you’re coming from a blank page.

what are writeblrs if not fanblogs of their own wips

Hello, people of Tumblr! You can call me Rose, and welcome to my writeblr. I've been wanting to join the community for a long time and finally got to it.

About me:

I'm an Italian 18 year old

greyromantic & queer (she/her pronouns)

I have (undiagnosed) social anxiety

Italian is my first language, but I also speak English (as you can tell) and Spanish

I'm an intersectional feminist, aka do NOT interact if you are sexist, racist, queerphobic (yes, that includes exclusionists), ableist, fatphobic, antisemitic, islamophobic, pro-capitalism or pro-cops

my favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, but I read almost anything--except horror, cause I'm a chicken

similarly, I write mostly fantasy & sci-fi

faves of mine include: found family, enemies to lovers, friendship, siblings dynamics, redemption arcs, retellings, mythology, experimental form, discussions on morality, fake dating, that one trope where character A dates character B for a revenge plan but ends up falling in love with them

Disclaimer: this is my original work. Do not copy, steal or repost in any form. If you like what I do, reblog.
