brainstorming a new story idea is scary as heck cause you know you’re either going to write it and add another finished work to your portfolio or you’re gonna abandon it and all the time you spend working on it will be wasted on something that was doomed from the beginning.

Vale: Chapter 1

b-righterink:

In which the Callaghans are a happy and wholesome family of two assassin grandparents, two scientist parents, and one tiny teeny child assassin in training.


I didn’t always know where exactly I wanted to start the story and even though I know it’s good to start in medias res I still wanted to give more background to her life at the start, especially to show the change she goes through very soon.

Also I thought posting a chapter twice every week that’d be cool? If I did just one chapter a week we’d be here until next March and I ain’t got time for that.

Is this thing on?

Hello! Writeblr here?

This is my first go at a proper writeblr. I’ve been writing for seven years now but honestly it feels way longer than that… is that even correct? No yeah, absolutely, seven years. The frick?

I’m Tia, 25, I write in English even though I’m not a native speaker but somehow I’m even worse in my mother tongue. I love science fiction and dystopian fiction sprinkled with the occasional supernatural. I love zombies, robots, time travel, and mind-bending, way too convoluted plotlines that even I don’t understand, but more than anything I love to make up fake science just so I don’t have to do any real research.

I’m a little scared to get into writeblring because from what I’ve seen y’all are wonderful, kind-hearted, supportive people and I’m like a tar-like blob in the corner nobody really wants to look at but it makes weird noises from time to time and it’s starting to get really fucking awkward and people are leaving the party and the host really just wants to know who brought that thing as their plus one.

Joke’s on you, I snuck in through the garbage chute.

Anyways, I’ll be posting my recently finished labour of love, Vale, that is about a supernatural-ish assassin who instead of killing one of her marks decides to free him and then hopefully mind-bendy shenanigans ensue. This is the longest my stupid ADD brain has stuck with a story (one and a half years) and it’s very close to my heart so at the moment I’m looking into ways to get feedback on it.

I’ll also be posting some other writing-related stuff that I don’t want clogging up my main blog (that I’ve had for nine years so I’m not exactly new to tumblr eh) so give me a follow if you’d like? Recommend me other writeblrs to follow? Other stuff you guys do on here?

Thanks, bYE

Hello I made a writeblr, please love me.

Which OC would be loved/woobified by a hypothetical fandom? Which one would be demonized?

Pffft in Happy Endings there are canonically Cal stans and he hates them they go against everything he’s been doing. Being hated is the point ya dingdongs. I think about that a lot.

Amelia’s probably going to get demonized, I’ve seen it happen. Woman in a position of power against the protagonist? Yep. I mean, even Cal goes ‘That’s fair’ when she tries to kill him. I did my best.

I really hope I did all I could to make woobifying my two male villains impossible but I’m still afraid they’d be shipped together which would be pretty stupid. And I hope the Iron Slayer would be loved because even though she’s evil she’s pretty awesome.

Mason might be demonised because she spends most of the story doing bad stuff so she can stay in a position where she can do good stuff later and some people might not like that, but honestly just imagine how she feels :/ Plus some people might want to compare her to Morlene who’s a literal angel and hate her by comparison in which case I’ll track down where they live based on their purchase information of my book and then give them a long lecture about how they’re both amazing and both deserve the world.

Idk if Vale would be woobified or demonised. I hope neither but I feel like she’s closer to being woobified. She can be loved despite doing shitty stuff but pls no woobifying, thanks. She’d prefer being demonised anyway.
