Truth, Magic in disguise?

Truth can take us places. It can lead us to conclusions or back to beginnings. Truth can beour best friend or our worst enemy. Truth can slap us in the face and leave us spinning,unsure where to turn next. Yet, through the power of reflection, we can find truth rightbeside us. The power of reflection is something that continues to astound me, and I hold itvery close to my heart. What are your…

Addressing the writer's high, and the guilt that follows

Watch the supplemental video here From time to time, my thoughts run wild with an idea. The feeling literally burns. I have to get the thoughts out, I have to put the words to paper. One, two, three pages. I write them on the fly. “This is my next big project,” I think to myself. There’s no sign of slowing down. The words keep flowing… …until they don’t. The writer’s high is a deceptive influx…

Off my head

In the club they’re playing the classics Spinning wax pinging out blasters Bangers bangers, hands to rafters Sweating now, bliss forever comedown after Chatting shit over cans at an afters Wafting away acrid smells with my hands Telling some girl about my favourite bands Victorian times, that hard to make an advance Crabs have more chance at getting in pants At a gaff either with the cat…

Make Creative Blocks Work For You

As someone who struggles frequently with procrastination and perfectionism, let me tell you from experience that there is no one true way to overcome a creative block, particularly not how to overcome a writer's block.

Procrastination and creative blocks are Hounds that those who seek to join a creative field know all too well. It’s a running joke among creatives, “Haha I should be writing right now but I am doing literally anything else!” Honestly, the most relatable thing in the first season of You is the sequence of Beck alternating between trying to write, random googling, Yoga and fiddling with every…

Writeblr Intro!

Hi, welcome, I'm Regina!

Facts about me:

I've been writing for years and years. My writing is fueled by rage, frustration over stories I wish had been better, spite, and competitiveness. Also self indulgence.

I prefer Tumblr to most social media platforms. It's homey. It's comfy. I've been here for years but this is a new blog for a new pen name because I felt like it.

Favorite genres to read: Regency romance (especially Georgette Heyer, despite the problematic elements of the times), romantasy, monster romance.

I can and will rant about Bridgerton (good and bad) all day. You think I'm joking. I am not joking.

Queer, neurodivergent, married to the love of my life.

Facts about my writing:

The Regency era is one of my special interests, and I've always wanted to write historical fiction set in the era but my brain refuses to write anything unless it has fantasy in it. Refuses. Goes blank. Won't move. Is way too bored, even though the time period was fascinating. So I capitulated to the inevitable and am running with Regency fantasy, plus probably some romantasy on the side. (By which I mean I have ideas but we'll see what happens with them.)

Mostly fem-centric steamy stories with a strong focus on social intrigue.

My stories include variety of pairings, including FF, MM, various other queer pairings, and polyamorous pairings.

What you can expect here:

RANTING AND RAVING! So many (good and bad) Opinions on writing, movies, TV, and Regency fiction. Most especially about Bridgerton, with an occasional rabbit trail into BBC's Merlin.

Steamy and smutty story excerpts under the tag #mywriting.

WIP introductions.

Regency AU imagines of other stories, especially fairy tales.

Historical ramblings about Regency history.

Quotes from Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies.

Blathering about the state of indie publishing. (Good and bad!)

Open to asks and tag games!

Pleased to meet you, and it's so good to be here!

Is It Writer's Block? Or Something Else?

Andy Weir is somewhat of a self-made writer, gaining notoriety through self-publishing before being approached by agent. For me, that makes him an entirely reliable source for battling "writer's block."

A representation of writer’s block by Leonid Pasternak (1862–1945) To be honest, I was struggling with what to write about for this week’s blog post. The obvious answer would be to write about either reading or writing. But my reading life has been quiet. I’ve been working on Sellout by Dan Ozzi on the nonfiction front, and I’m looking forward to reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which…

Riverton Police: A Night in the Life of Detectives Jake and Sam

The city of Riverton never slept, nor did Detectives Jake Harris and Sam O’Reilly. Partners for over a decade roamed the nocturnal streets with the kind of synergy only best friends could muster. Their squad car, an unremarkable blue-and-white cruiser, was a beacon of hope for some and a symbol of fear for others. Jake, with his gruff exterior and piercing blue eyes, was the kind of cop who…

Last left living

I’ve got racks and bands racks and bands Livestrong bracelets outlive the land After the nukes land Whose hand shadowed the burgundy button Land sliding to inhuman climes Life cannot sustain, lung-raping acid rains It’s only cockroaches and plastic bands from Athenry to Atlanta Unmoving city full of noises, pie full of phantoms When do we mark it as over? They market ozone’s end as…
