may the restart of my writeblr begin.

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

going to be revamping soon.

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Æ PARK — a writeblr re-introduction;

sending a hello to the wide blue yonder of writeblr! i'm back after a long hiatus, so please bear with me while i reacquaint myself. i'm æ, previously iusiurandums, a thirty-year-old qpoc creative looking to connect with writers and readers who love provocative, diverse fiction. nice to meet you (again, for some)!

— you can also find me at royal road / wattpad / patreon !

about æ;

— i'm fond of typing in lowercase, studying classic literature, lo-fi music, and embracing lacunas, also known as untranslatable words.

— my favorite tropes are academic settings, "it's complicated" romances, anti-heroines, sub-textual doublespeak, and lovable fools.

— my digs are speculative fiction, emphasizing late young adult/new adult contemporary fantasy. throw in some intergenerational trauma and found family healing, and beware of characters who will do anything to achieve their goals.

— expect experiments with typography and transtextuality within my works! i love playing with language, narration, perspectives, and mediums.

wips under the cut! ⤵

that comeback post will be soon. i just suck at my short story assignment rn. 

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Comeback post will be incoming. I’ve got to be real with myself, there has been a time of healing that I have been going through. The last time I was actually writing was with my ex. And I was only giving ideas. Finally away from my draining jobs and have been attempting to do everything: from learning video game writing, making games, UI/UX design, python and applying for jobs to be a conent writer. Do not get me wrong, I am still doing all those things, oh and working on my degree. Though I have been just aborbing everything not actioning it. Now is the time. ]

Six months and let’s see what I am made of. I want to have everything to prove it. But I want to come home to writing which has been something that I have always adored. So let’s come home and I know that I have changed for the better. 

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Why can’t my local library be literally magic ;_;

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Could willingly waste my time in it.

Whisper of the Heart (2022)

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

❝ What if I look inside myself and I don’t find any gems? What if I’m just a rock? ❞

WHISPER OF THE HEART (1995) | dir. Yoshifumi Kondō

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Honestly, just rambling to the void as I am trying to keep myself busy and creativly motivated. Here is the list that I am doing: 

-Creative Writing Degree -Video Game Writing Course  -Learning Photoshop/Illustrator  -Starting a Bookstagram -Streaming on twitch with vtuber  -Graphic Design Project for Worldbuilding  -Outlining Reckless Lullabies  -Outlining When It’s All Over  -Writing articles on Medium  -Working on Analogue and Digital Photography 

-Learning Figma for UI/UX Design 

There is a theory that if you write it and share it out with the world then you are more than likely to get things done. So here I am going to be giving it my all

[thefleetingdreamswrites]

Now I am not working and going through the phases of finding myself. Maybe I should look a little into Video Game Writing. Do I take a course that cost £900 for the certification or should  I just keep on creating and exploring all the possiblities I never knew about?
