[ veneritia ; writeblr re-introduction ]

Hello everyone! My name’s Maddie and I used to post as @anomaly00.  I’ve been on writeblr for a few years and have grown and changed a lot since I first started, which is why I’m starting over on a new blog! The old blog will still be up as an archive, but this will my primary blog and will still be writeblr-centric, just like the old one. The only difference is that I’m hoping this one will stay more organized and my original content more true to how they currently are, instead of it being a hodge podge of outdated information.

[ about me ]

18. She/Her. Filipino. consistently intp. virgo. tired university student. My love for learning history stems from my mom making me watch period dramas with her and constantly having me explain timeline of events (i’m far from a history buff though). I mostly write fantasy stories and I love worldbuilding. I am very into villainess manhuas and I will absolutely talk your ears off if you ask me about them.

One of my dreams is to have one of my wips printed with a dedication to my bff about how I did manage to finish this story before I was 90.

[ main wips ]

When Comes the Dawn |  Fenice vi Aetier, a ‘soulless’ princess and the estranged daughter of the emperor, ignites a dangerous successsion game between her and her half-brother, where losing means death and winning means an empire. But when the remnants of her father’s war rears its head, Fenice must ensure her victory — or else lose far more than just her head.

genre; na, high fantasy, court intrigue  

The Stars do not Bind Us |  Six, thirteen years old and born as the prophesized her, embarks on a quest where her victory is as assured as her death. Accompanying her is a strange man in the woods and the five voices inside her head.

genre; fantasy/adventure novella

hello "my constant need to reorganize my blog," lovely to see you again

[anomaly00-archive]

[wctd noncanonical scene - from 'i just wanna write soft things.docx]

THE NIGHT IS OLD WHEN NIKE SLIPS BETWEEN THE SHEETS, his weight slowly dipping the left side of the bed as he tries to slowly ease himself down without disturbing his sleeping wife. The gesture was out of courtesy than any need to be discreet. Nike learned, after their first week of marriage, that Fenice was ever the light sleeper.

She shifts to face him, red hair a stark contrast against her pale skin and white sheets. Her eyes open— but just a sliver, silver irises shining like crescent moons. Fenice squeezed her eyes shut as she stretched. Spine arched, spindly arms coming up to push against the wooden headboard with a quiet groan.

Nike pulled the fallen duvet towards Fenice. “Forgive me for waking you.”

Fenice hummed, burrowing deeper into the warmth of their bed. “As long as you haven’t buried a knife beneath your pillow.”

He chuckled, raising his pillow high to bare only pristine white sheets. “As if I would.”

“No,” she agreed. “You are too soft.”

He lays his head back down, hand gliding upward to cup her hands in his. “You are cold.” Nike pulls her hand to his side and she lets him, content to watch, as she always does.

“I am always cold.” She rests her forehead against his, strands of her loose hair tickling his nose. “Dead things usually are.”

“Your pulse beating against mine begs to differ.”

She laughs at that. Soft like clouds and as quiet as a stray breeze in the dessert.

Nike smiled as he pulled the covers over them both. There, curled up against each other, they simply breathed. The shadows of the night enveloping them like an embrace so tight, Nike, for a moment, thought he could forget about the world outside their chambers.

But only for a moment.

Fenice gazed at him, eyes half-lidded, framed by ugly shadows that would be painted away in the morning. She blinks slowly, eyes fluttering every so often in an attempt to keep awake. And she would, if she had to. Stay awake, that is. That is why it is Nike that closes his eyes and tucks his chin. Head immediately returning to the early days of his education where his ederosus attempted to make him memorize all the ways a prince must conduct himself.

He loved his ederosus, he really did. The man just had the rather unfortunate talent of putting young, energetic princes like Nike to sleep.

“You did not have to come back.”

His eyes snapped open. “What?”

“To me. To my bed. There is no reason for you to.”

“Must I need a reason”

Her silence was what answered him.

Nike sighed, turning to lay on his back, head pillowed by arm. “Must you fear the snakes that you avoid the trees?”

“I do not fear all snakes—only the ones in my garden.”

“Which one am I?”

“I don’t yet know,” she whispered. “And that’s what frightens me about you.”

Hi!!! I’m Grubdog (or Gen if you prefer), a college student who really likes to write! I also like drawing and video games. Particularly Pikmin, which has been my special interest sense I was eleven. I will mention fanish works now and again, but as I also have a pikmin blog (@gay-bulborb​) I’ll keep this mostly to original stuff.

I have a Carrd which hosts a bunch of links to other places I can be found, including my Ao3!

I mostly like to write/read stuff more so on the fantasy side of things! Wings of Fire and Eragon in particular are some of my favorites.

I wholeheartedly welcome critiques! It helps me get better! (Spelling in particular is a big weakness of mine, at least that I’ve noticed.)

ft. low quality graphics & writing because i spent all my braincells on the actual draft.

QING JIEXI, the High Empress of the kingdom of Fuxin. A talented young ruler, she loves her sister more than anything else in the world. Her ascension to the throne was by no means something she had asked for, but she has done her best to be worthy of the role.

[ author notes: she is very worthy. someone take her away from me and give her a nice long holiday on a beach far away. ]

how to make a story file

As I am preparing for Camp NaNo*, I have been working on my story file. It occurred to me this might not be common or popular practice. “Story File” is a name I gave it and maybe some of y’all have a different name with the same contents. 

*There’s still time to apply to join my Camp NaNo cabin!

My Story File contains everything about my story that doesn’t go in the outline.

It’s broken up into major categories and specific templates. So without further ado, here is how I structure my Story File. 

Intro

Title

Logline

Synopsis

Genre

Estimated Total Length (word count)

Draft Length Goal (word count)

Character Bank

Main characters and brief, one-sentence descriptions with ages

Themes and Character Development

Central Question

The Yes/No question that is being asked through the whole story

Should have objective qualities, rather than subjective

i.e. “Will they fall in love?” (subjective) vs. “Will they leave their partners and become a couple?” (objective)

Thematic Questions

These are the internal conflict questions that reside in your character(s) and your story

ex. “Can there really be a successful government?”

ex. “Does grief excuse bad actions?”

Themes at a Glance

Words or phrases that relate to the themes of the story

ex. person vs. nature

ex. isolation

ex. grief

ex. first love

Motivation / Stasis State / Final State

for each main character, you should write a sentence or two pertaining to these three things

Motivation: What is the drive behind this character and their past, present, and future actions? What part of their background makes them the way that they are? What are they looking for? What do they want out of this/a situation?

Stasis State: What are they like before the inciting incident? What problems and questions do they have?

Final State: What has changed about them and their outlook? What questions have they resolved? What has happened to their internal conflict?

Relationships

I usually make a little web of the MCs and their relationship to one another. One for the stasis and one for final.

Stasis: How do these characters see each other? How do they act toward the other? (All before the inciting incident)

Final: How do these characters see each other now? How has their idea of one another shifted? 

Even if a character dies before the end, include the most recent relationship status in the Final web.

ex. this is how I organize it, using the Draw feature of Google Docs

Character Bank

This is just a very preliminary character bank. If you prefer a more in-depth one, check out my 6 Box Method.

Per (relevant/important) character:

Name

Nickname/preferred name

Age

Field/Occupation

Physical Description

Personality

Personal History

Education/Occupation History

Extra Notes:

Worldbuilding Bank

(Check out my worldbuilding posts on Categories Pt. 1 and 2 for better context)

Seasons and Climate

Languages

Other Cultural Pockets

Folklore and Legends

Fine Arts

Dress and Modesty

Classes

Jobs

Currency and Economics

Shopping

Agriculture and Livestock

Imports and Exports

Literature, Pop Culture, and Entertainment

Food and Water

Holidays and Festivals

Family and Parenting

Relationships

Housing

Religion and Beliefs

Government

Health and Medicine

Technology and Communication

Death

Transportation

Plants, Animals, and Human-environment Interaction

Education

Beauty Standards

Gender and Sexuality

—————————

I hope this helps y’all and supplements what you’re probably already doing. I know it’s helped me tons to have everything in a central place.

Best of luck!

Unholy Holy Things Character Aesthetics || Sionri an Rennach

If someone were to ask Hadriel why he dislikes Prince Sionri so much, Hadriel would not be able to explain it. Not for lack of reasons, though. There are many reasons why Hadriel might dislike Sionri.

Everything about Sionri is misaligned. He’s all jagged lines, obtuse angles, obfuscation and obstruction. His words are that of a perfect gentleman, and yet all of Valeros knows about the whoring, gambling drunkard Caerr Mara calls its future king. He acts as though the whole world loves him, but plays the fool at every turn. The simple truth of it is that Sionri is everything Hadriel was raised not to be.

The problem is that those aren’t the reasons. Sure, the man is a scoundrel, a wastrel, and an all-around waste of breath, but Hadriel has known many people like that, and Sionri is not like them. Everything is a game to Sionri— he thinks that despite all his faults, despite the fact that nobody else is playing his thrice-cursed games, he’ll be the last one laughing in the end.

Hadriel dislikes Sionri because he gets the distinct sense that Sionri is right. How, exactly, do you explain that?

hey! i’m kinda new to the writeblr scene but i thought i should at least dip my toes in here for a bit! i’m knock, 22, am vietnamese-australian, and use she/her pronouns.

i’ll include a super brief summary of my WIPs under the read more, but extra information can be found on my pinned post! my projects are either original works or (marvel) fics. i’m obsessed with themes of mortality / immortality, deities, and destiny. representation and diverse stories and voices are important to my writing and what i read, so feel free to block me if you don’t feel the same.

i would love to find some new people and WIPs to get interested in, so feel free to follow me / interact with this post and i’ll check you out!!

Keep reading

[anomaly00-archive]

i haven’t been properly active on writeblr for a few months, so if you’re an active writeblr (particularly if you have high word count goals / general writing goals for the summer) could you please reblog or reply to this post? my feed is dead and i need more writeblr friends!

[ excerpt from wctd ; it's been too long since i gave y'all content so...uh...enjoy?]

“Why?” He barked. “Is it not obvious why?”

“I believe I do not know what you are talking about.”

“You are a harbinger of doom!” Caelcinius’ chair screeched as he stood, robes flaring around him. “An omen of destruction. Unnatural. An abomination!”

“Your excellency—”

“That you have continued to survive this long only spells the coming of a great disaster and I will not have my eternal soul damned by giving blessings to such a thing.”

“Your excellency I recommend that you watch. Your. Tone.”

Fenice’s nails dug crescents against her skin, fury roiling within her chest waiting to lash out. She bit the inside of her cheek to calm herself. It would not do to lose herself now.

Caelcinius was heaving. Blotchy face going slack as realization lit up his eyes. He steeled himself, hands coming to clasp each other behind his back. Chin raised so that he looked down at her with his beady eyes. “What I have spoken is not defamation. It is truth.”

“Perhaps.” Fenice’s voice was tight. “And I will not begrudge you your truth. Nor your attempts at saving your…eternal soul was it?” She laughed. “Well, nothing I can do about your eternal soul. It is Aphel’s to do as he pleases, and as far as you are concerned I have no soul. Though perhaps I may yet be able to change your mind.”

Caelcinius shook his head. “Forgive me if I say that there is little you can do to change it.”

Nice!!! Fair folk lore is always fascinating

Open WBW Question!

What is one worldbuilding factoid that you came up with on the fly (no research or anything) that you like or find fascinating? It doesn’t have to have any significance in the actual plot.
