Hi, Hello, Jell-O

I'm 22, she/her, and not exactly new to the writeblr community. Sinbad Reis is my penname, but (discord) friends know me as Luce. I'm currently studying to become a middle/high school teacher, which has been a lifelong dream for me!

I write fanfiction, (urban) fantasy, science-fiction, paranormal, romance and magical realism. I've only listed the big names but I mostly love the sub-genres (dark academia, historical romance, etc)! I don't like horror or contemporary.

I like tag games, aesthetics, moodboards, story and character intros/posts, and curated playlists. My friends used to call me Memelord and Vinemaster but tbh I haven't been keeping up with the latest shitlords these last months.

I write mainly NA, although sometimes the line is blurred and I slip over to either YA or Adult. Poetry butters my croissant.

My Nanowrimo is: Braves.

I love brainstorming and worldbuilding. I have a lot of wips, some recent, some I've been working on for years. I tend to jump from one wip to another, I follow my heart mostly. It's something I also do with fandoms, social groups and what sort of media I consume. I just can't stick with one thing for very long.

Nice to meet you all! Yes, you can tag me. Yes, you can dm me about your wips. Yes, you can dm me just to chat!

I'll be posting about my wips really soon, so stick around if your curiosity was picked while reading this longass intro!

I follow back 🐣

🎶Poetry In Motion - Johnny Tillotson

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.  At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer. 

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 

You can do it. Whatever it is.

Idea: if you are convicted of domestic violence or of rape, you lose all custody of any children. You also lose the ability to have any custody of future children. If you file for marriage, your spouse to be is furnished with the records of your offense. The spouse must sign that they have received these records before a marriage license is granted. Your domestic abuse or rape conviction will be printed on any official documents, including driver’s license and passport.

In 2019:

- do more things that make you forget about your phone

- do not compare yourself to other people: trust that you are progressing in your own way

- keep your heart soft, remember that there are genuinely kind people & good things in the world

- finish what you start

- be consistent, and do not be swayed by temporary moods or criticisms from people who don’t matter.

- smile more often

- be okay with being bad at something

- do not blame yourself for people who make you feel unworthy. find new people to talk to and don’t isolate yourself even if you feel awkward or unlovable. don’t convince yourself that you’re better off alone.

- go outside more often and find beauty in small things

- read more books

- be the kindest person you can be

- be so busy you have no time to be bored or dwell on the past

- learn to be patient. don’t rely on instant gratification, wait for the sense of accomplishment after completing a daily goal or achieving a long-term goal

- see bad days as a chance to start again

- always remember that negative thoughts are not the truth. you can do amazing things even though you may feel stupid. you are worthy of love and self care even though you may hate yourself. you deserve kindness and friendship and unconditional love even though you don’t feel that way. people don’t hate you even though you think you’re unlovable. you made mistakes and had bad times but that’s ok - you can always start again.
