*writer's write sad endings because people don't forget sad endings easily*

Bro, I don't care about about this. I want happy endings everywhere. I will not give cupcakes to those who say happy endings are unrealistic or childish. If I wanted to read or watch a sad ending story then I can easily read a newspaper or watch the TV news channels.

I just wanted to thank you for your tips and posts. They're very helpful. Have a lovely day :)

Awww thank you so much!

I've noticed my inbox REALLY blow up for the past few days, so if you've dropped a question or request, please be patient with me! It takes me 1.5 hours on average to fully research, draft and publish a post. Once I have some posts queued, I'll increase the number of times I post per day (it's twice a day as of now) so that you guys can move along in your writing!

+ if you've dropped a specific fanfic/fandom related question, do excuse a little delay on my part, I may need to read/watch the stuff...

Welcome, Traveler!

Hello! Ella here, it's nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I've only been on Tumblr for a couple of years, but I've been sharing original stories online since 2018, and writing for fun even before that. Mainly, I dabble in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and everything in between. If you read or write within these genres, we'll get along great. And even if you don't, hit me up! I'm always looking for another good read, and I'm pretty easy to please.

In the writeblr community, I welcome asks/tag games and am always looking for an excuse to talk about my beloved characters. Granted, it takes me forever and a day to respond to literally anything, but I'd love to get to know you and your WIPs!

If I'm not writing, I'll hop on to see what y'all are up to, and sometimes I'll chime in with whatever's on my mind. Usually late at night when I should be asleep. As one does. You know how it goes around here. If I happen to say anything hilarious, there's a 60% chance it was unintentional. I rarely think I'm funny in real life.

The bottom line is that I'm here to vibe, and if you enjoy my WIPs or just wanna be friends, please don't be shy to reach out! I'm often afraid to make the first move, but whether it's through reading my stories or my feral rambles, I hope I can make you smile!

MORE ABOUT ME

—‌Currently pursuing a degree in English creative writing and gender sexuality, and race studies, with minors in publishing and printing arts and music performance. So, naturally, I can be a busy gal.

—‌My dream is to be a published writer (looking into the indie route), with the goal to debut before I graduate. I also have aspirations to be an actor in community theatre and voiceover work, but we'll see how that goes!

—‌I've played the flute for almost ten years, and am slowly learning piano and guitar. Eventually I'd love to learn my way around a drum set as well, if I ever find the time, money, and discipline. Maybe I'll even write my own music one day, who knows.

—‌I love to swim, and I rode horses for several years. Beyond that, I'm pretty much hopeless at sports, especially the ones that involve throwing around a ball.

—‌I also draw occasionally. I haven't been that dedicated to the craft lately, so I've lost a lot of my mojo, but I hope to maybe share some art on here some day!

—‌Since my early teens I've volunteered at my local zoo and aquarium, but more recently, I've been working as a swim instructor.

—‌Like I mentioned above, I'd love to make friends! I'll talk to anyone about anything, as long as the conversation stays friendly, safe, and respectful. I won't tolerate hate in any form.

"Khi yêu thương ai đó Món quà tuyệt vời nhất ta có thể dành tặng họ Chính là sự tồn tại của chính bản thân ta."

Hãy nhớ rằng, sự hiện diện của mình đôi khi chính là niềm hạnh phúc của người khác. Chúng mình đến với cuộc đời, dù chỉ là một người bình thường, sống một cuộc đời bình thường, trân trọng những gì nhỏ bé bình thường hay yêu một ai đó bình thường, nhưng những gì "bình thường" ấy đôi khi cũng là mong muốn giản đơn của nhiều người khác.

Và, dù mọi thứ có bình thường đi chăng nữa thì tớ luôn tin, sự xuất hiện của mỗi người trong cuộc đời vẫn mang một sứ mệnh nào đó mà có thể mình chưa khám phá ra, sứ mệnh đôi khi là làm một niềm hạnh phúc cho người khác!

Day 3 of writing challenge

1024 words today. My cold got a little better, but I still don't feel healthy enough. Even more reasons to keep myself busy.

I am feeling a little concerned, because my previous WIP was stuck on 550 pages for years and I am getting close to it again. I am always scared of, how I like to put it, "looking down". Looking down - and realizing how far I am already but also what a long way is still ahead of me. When I am thinking it is still only a beginning, I fear that I won't be able to finish it - just like a previous one.

I used to write...

Hello,

I'm Nag, I'm 21 and I miss writing.

During the pandemic, I began writing short stories and even an attempt to write a novel, which I finished but I now know that I need to check a few things. Anyway, later in 2021, I stopped writing. I stopped doing many things I used to do, but writing is the one I miss the most. Now, everything went back to normal. I go to school and I feel like I am barely doing anything with my time. I have no creativity and I miss the writer I once was. That is why I am writing this. I want to go back in time to 2020, where google docs was my best friend, where my writing playlist appeared in my Spotify wrapped and where my only interaction with my friends was “Hey, I wrote another story!”

So if you can help me in any way, I’m all ears.

"A Garden, Perhaps" Arwen and Aragorn

He'll find her in the garden sitting in a soft white chair. Her pale skin shines like glass glowing under the morning sun while your lips move softly as she welcomes his arrival. She wears a long gown in a bright shade of blue with a silver embellishment around her neckline and a long bell silver sleeve, and her long brunette hair is pulled back into a loose braid. She turns her head on her shoulder to look at her flowers grow for her eyes glimmer looking at them. They will bloom shortly this spring while some have already burgeoned, just as some petals jostle their way out from their bud which strived in tightly wrapped layers for months while some burst open, fresh with morning dew on them. While her glimpse falls gingerly yet gently on the unfurling new petals and leaves, she gently strokes them with the tip of her fingers. And he stands still completely armored, arms cuffed, bow and arrows, quiver on his back looking at her lost in thoughts, "Should I expand the garden...? perhaps I should." She looks at him in surprise " Where are you going dear.. this early morning? "

What I say: I am drowning in drafts and progress is slow. Send help pls

What I mean: idk if anyone is going to read this, so I'll just write this for me. It's been a long time since I really sat down and tried to write for fun, and boy is it a challenge. A lot about me has changed, and I feel disconnected from my inner voice. Before, that voice was always what made things easier for me; I could always get into a flow state because that inner self knew what she wanted to happen in the story. Finding her again is difficult. I'm finding that I have to repeatedly give myself permission to write what I want, and to allow the first draft to be terrible. I know from experience that my first draft is usually not great, so that challenge is a lot easier to remedy. But being internally forbidden from writing what I really want? That's a survival instinct I've developed, and learning around it/undoing it is so hard. So I guess this post isn't just for me: it's for anyone wondering why I haven't posted yet, and for any other writers who feel like they're struggling to find their voice. I see you, the pain feels like this to me, and I hope what you write satisfies you.

As a writer, you need something that allows you to write well, that is, you need knowledge, creativity, and insight. Reading is a source of knowledge for a writer, while creativity grows with your bright ideas, and you also need to have an idea of ​​the theme you want to write about.

"DÁM SỐNG MỘT CUỘC ĐỜI TỬ TẾ"

Hôm nay mình có một ca học về Tài chính, mình đọc review từ anh chị khóa trước thì ai cũng kêu đây là "môn học khó nhất" từ khi vào trường đến giờ =))), cũng rén lắm nhưng vẫn phải học thôi.

Mà bỏ qua chuyện đó đi đã thì hôm nay mình muốn chia sẻ về câu chuyện từ giảng viên dạy môn học này. Khác với nhiều thầy cô mình từng học, cô nói rằng trước khi bắt đầu tất cả các buổi học, cô sẽ dành 15 - 20' để chia sẻ về câu chuyện và bài học từ chính trải nghiệm cá nhân của cô, và cô gọi ấy là "món quà dành cho những ai đi học sớm :>".

Hôm nay cô chia sẻ cho lớp mình một lời khuyên, đại khái là khi chúng ta thực hiện một điều gì đó, chúng ta đừng chỉ chăm chăm vào một mục đích nhất định, nếu chỉ luôn nhìn vào thứ mình muốn đạt được thì hành trình ấy sẽ chẳng hề vui vẻ. Giống như việc chúng ta đi học một môn học, nếu như chỉ quan tâm đến mục đích duy nhất là phải đạt điểm A, thì bạn sẽ chỉ muốn cô dạy nhiều thật nhiều về kiến thức môn ấy. Bạn sẽ thấy mọi việc khác là vô ích, ví dụ như hôm nay, bạn sẽ bực bội và chán nản vì thấy việc cô dành 15' để nói mấy thứ này chẳng hề giúp gì được cho mình, sẽ cho đó là lãng phí thời gian... Nhưng, thứ mà chúng ta học đâu chỉ có mỗi kiến thức, chúng ta còn học cả thái độ, cả tư duy, cả cách nhìn nhận mọi điều trong cuộc sống. Nếu như chúng ta đón nhận mọi thứ đến với mình băng một tâm thế sẵn sàng, thoải mái thì mọi điều xảy ra - chúng đều có thể đem đến cho mình một cái gì đó có thể học hỏi được. Nếu theo mindset như vậy, quá trình học tập hay bất cứ hành trình nào chúng ta cũng cảm thấy vui vẻ, vui vẻ thực hiện, vui vẻ đón nhận...

Một điều khác mà mình ấn tượng với lời chia sẻ của cô nên muốn kể cho mọi người. Cô bảo rằng, mình có cơ hội tiếp xúc với nhiều bạn trẻ, tiếp xúc với nhiều thế hệ các bạn sinh viên, và điều cô mong muốn nhất đó là hướng sinh viên của mình luôn "Dám sống một cuộc đời tử tế". Chúng ta đừng lo sợ rằng nếu mình sống tử tế thì sẽ chịu thiệt về thân, đừng lo rằng nếu sống tử tế thì sẽ chẳng ai tử tế lại với mình. Nhưng không, mọi sự yêu thương và tử tế sẽ luôn đi theo một vòng tròn, khi chúng ta trao đi, có thể nó sẽ không trở lại ngay lập tức, nhưng chắc chắn nó sẽ quay về bên cạnh mình, chỉ là sẽ vào một khoảnh khắc nào đó, vào một ngày nào đó mà thôi...

Ta cứ tử tế và cống hiến thì mọi thứ sẽ tự biết cách sắp xếp trao trả lại cho chúng ta! Như ai đó đã từng nói rằng: Chúng ta sẽ hối tiếc rất nhiều điều trong đời, nhưng sẽ không bao giờ hối tiếc vì đã quá tốt hay quá công bằng đâu!
