Me: I Want To See A Variety Of Character Types And Backgrounds. Is That What You Have, Or Do You Have

Me: I want to see a variety of character types and backgrounds. Is that what you have, or do you have another queer with anxiety?

My brain: I have a new original character.

Me: You're sure. You have a new idea and it's not just an anxious queer.

My brain: That is correct. I have a totally original character.

Me: Excellent! Please give me the original character.

My brain: [hands over an anxious queer]

Fellas, is it gay to be majestic?

Oh my gosh, uh. HARD SAME in terms of missing having a writing community. I've been trying to find it again, but the lack of interaction here makes it pretty challenging. :/

I'm not an indie author, mainly because I self-published TTRPGs for 14 years and am Over It, and am currently slogging through querying agents for my first queer romance novel.

However:

I'm Real Fuckin' Gay (trans nb + ace demi + bi)

The novel I'm querying is queer af

Elevator pitch: "Community Witch is an unapologetically trope-y, cozy, and relationship-driven romance story about the healing from trauma, found family, and joyful queer relationships."

Also two of the 3 romantic leads have anxiety

Also also one of the romantic leads is demisexual

It's cozy contemporary fantasy with all kinds of mythological creatures

Currently I'm pretty active posting about WIPs, writing exercises, and side projects, including the sequel to the first book, which I'm currently editing, and has two Big Neurodivergent Big Gay protagonists who are complete dumbasses and I'm having so much fun with the characters, if not the actual editing

Book 1 characters (my art):

Book 2 dumbasses (also mine):

writers, listen up...

i've fallen out of touch with the writeblr community a lot in the past few years, and i want to rectify that. the community aspect was what made me fall in love with tumblr, and what improved my writing for the better.

the golden days of my writing were when i was highly active and engaged in this wonderful community, but life and work and the horrors of self publishing have overtaken my energy in the past year. however, i have been really struggling with original writing, and i want to get back into the community here.

that said...
