My dearest residents of Tumblrton,

I hope the weather, the days, and your minds are treating you with utmost kindness!

I trust my First Column & Gazette, Volume 01 reached you without a fee, and I am delighted to inform you that the Gazette, Volume 02 has just gone to press for printing! This morning, I received the new parchment design from Canva & Co., our local modiste, and they delivered with the first post. We shall celebrate these next eight esteemed authors together within a fortnight!

Join our Weaving Wonderful Writers Society to indulge yourself. You may introduce yourselves whilst maintaining the delightful ruse of this Regency-era—perhaps even adopt a name to suit. I myself go by Lady Grace (rumor has it I may or may not be entangled in a rather intriguing situation with Duke Barnes).

Alongside being a writer, might you also be a seamstress, an artist, a songstress, or even a soul swept into a love story with your own Duke or Sir or Lord? Imagine it, if you will—a world entirely of your own crafting! Would it not be a delight? I may be no expert, but I am certainly attempting to do justice to this theme of our chosen era. And so, dearest wanderer, if you feel inspired to join in, I would be most honored to make your acquaintance.

It would be a delight to see more neighbors in our Weaving Wonderful Writers Society sharing their tales and titles! Imagine each of us with our own Regency charm, crafting our little stories and sharing the quirks of our imagined lives in this lovely era.

And speaking of stories yet to unfold, I have a few Regency-themed events brewing in my mind! I shall be sharing details soon, so keep your eyes peeled and your imaginations ready. It promises of good times!

As I am still fairly new to our beloved neighborhood, I have done my utmost to reach as many dear writers as possible, yet I am certain there are more kindred spirits out there. Should you, or any friends you know, delight in the thought of joining our humble society, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to send along an invitation and welcome with utmost joy. Let us expand our circle and share in the joy of storytelling together!

Tagging (hoping they'd work) some of the potential members of the Weaving Wonderful Writers Society! :)

Apparently, I can only tag 50 per post. So, I will tag the rest in the reblog.

Would love to join your writers guild. Sounds like plenty is afoot over there.

“you write?”

Please remember your favorite writers are attention whores with a praise kink, they need validation to survive. Feed them comments and reblogs to save a life.

My autistic brain just read this as 'you fave writers are whores with praise kink' and was like yup. Only upon reading a 2nd time did i realise it was a good wholesome message 😂

I don’t see any lies here

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

Yup

Why You Should ‘Make Yourself’ Write (And How To Do It)

Most people who write for a hobby - especially the neurodivergent crowd - will write whenever they’re inspired, and many will be able to get an insane amount of writing done in one go, but then there’s a good while of writer’s block and low motivation/inspiration in between those bursts of creativity. You can see forcing yourself to write as something irrelevant to you; it’s just a hobby, so why burn yourself out forcing yourself to do it until it’s no longer fun?

The reason people say this, even for hobbyists, is so that you have some level of consistent progress; relying on random spikes in creativity or convenient hyperfocus isn’t a sustainable plan when it can either leave you burnt out after or leave you at a creative dead end for weeks or months between actual writing sessions

If you write consistently, you make progress consistently, so it’s good practice to make a habit out of using writing goals to keep you on track. Maybe you work best writing X amount of words, or maybe you prefer to write for X amount of time. Maybe you want to meet this goal every day, or maybe every few days, or maybe every week, or so on. I’m personally on 1000 words per week, and despite my autistic brain that thought I’d never be able to set and keep a consistent goal, I’ve been able to stick to it for nearly six months now. I also know people who are on 10 minutes per day, 100 words per week, 500 words every three days, 5000 words per month, etc

For me, being able to keep track of this not only means I get to see consistent progress being made, but it’s actually been really encouraging to see that word count go up so often and I’ve found that it motivates me to keep up with it. I’ve really enjoyed getting to work on this and having a minimum amount of progress per week really helps me feel like this is something real and something that’s slowly but surely going to be complete soon enough

Give it a try; say to yourself “if I want to achieve this goal, how long do I reasonably need to give myself to do it?” and have a go. After a few cycles it starts to register in your brain that, hey, you’re actually getting something done and being productive and watching that word count going up every day/week/etc! And don’t be afraid to change up your goal and your deadline if you think you’re not being challenged enough or if you’re starting to get burnt out on it - I’d consider it burning out when it’s consistently feeling less like a fun activity and more like a chore you have to do. It should still be fun!

10 Questions Every Fic Writer Secretly Wants to be Asked

There are a lot of fic questions that float around online, but rarely do they ever ask specific questions about the fics themselves. Ask any writer one or more of these ten questions to learn more about the fic and show support.

1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

2. Which scene was your favorite to write in [title of fic]?

3. Which part of [title] was hardest to write?

4. If you could change anything in [title], what would it be?

5. Did you make an outline for [title]? Did you stick to it?

6. Which scenes did you cut, and which were added in [title]?

7. Who was your favorite character to write in [title]?

8. Which came first, the title or the fic?

9. Which idea came to you first in [title]?

10. What are some facts readers may not know about [title]?

When someone interrupts me while I'm writing an intense scene.

Word Dieting Your First Draft

Here are two phrases you can cut without loss:

Should you avoid "begin to" altogether?

Well, no. Sometimes, when an action starts and is abandoned immediately, they clarify what's going on:

Cut "Look"

More often than not, your story will work just as well without telling the reader that the character is looking at something.

Cut "See"

If you describe something, it is implied that the POV character sees it.

When she took another galnce at the book in his hand, she saw he was

Cut "Turn"

Do your characters turn towards one another before saying something? Turn before they move? People turn all the time - it's implied without having to describe it.

Where turn + look are used:

When to use "look", "turn" and "see":

My friend complimented my writing a while ago, so if you've got any writer buddies or fav fic writers, give them a compliment!

Not yet but I have one in progress

reblog if fanfic writing has been a source of happiness for you and has helped with your mental health

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

that moment when you're writing something and you just start spacing out cause it occurs to you that...people read this. People read these words I am typing. Thousands of people have read what I have written. They aren't just funny usernames on a screen. Actual people read this. People that I know in real life have read what I write...............

I've never thought about it this way and now I'm gonna join you in...

My dash is dead and I need way more writeblr's to follow and play tag games with so...

Pls rb/like this post if you're a writeblr and post about any of the following:

And I'll check you out and give you a follow! I follow from @mercurialsmile so if you see that username hi its just me.

I'm doing an experiment

Edit: Should've added smut. If smut is your top struggle and you want to or do write it, reblog and say so <3

Smut! It's why 2.of my series are currently paused because I can't get myself to write smut.
