This draft needs major editing but here’s an interesting scene between Ana and her father, Marchosias! #writing #OurDemonicHearts

How to space out for the next 4 years

A sketch of Mizrak and Olrox from Castlevania Nocturne. The two are embracing closely, foreheads touching, with Olrox’s hand raised to Mizrak’s face and Mizrak’s hand resting on Olrox’s upper arm. They are drawn from the waist up, and appear nude.

Trying to finish my romantasy project before the end of February. 5 chapters left…hopefully 😭

I like following fellow writers on tumblr but it feels like trying to find a needle in a haystack these days 🫠 If any of y’all have a writeblr pls let me know 🙏

I know a major part of writing is making an unwieldy, shitty first draft, but god, there’s nothing I hate more than being in the middle of an unwieldy, shitty first draft

Not a single Christmas song has invoked such primal rage in me like Dominick the Donkey.

What if, and hear me out, we stop putting Jared Leto in movies

3 days until christmas. 80 pages of Frankenstein left. Wish me luck.

Writing a victorian fantasy means spending 30 minutes researching whether or not light switches were a thing in the victorian era. I did this months ago but the answer is still inconclusive

Congrats!!

Can’t wait to get back to this draft next year. Hoping to get at least 2 projects done before the end of this year, but I’m already thinking about this one 🥲

Rocky Horror Picture Show?

I thought having a smaller writing goal for November would save me from having a writing slump at the start of December, but it appears I was wrong. No writing today, but maybe tomorrow 🥲

I was born a year after it came out, but i remember being scared of it when my parents put it on the tv when i was a kid 😅 i love horror and apocalypse movies now but I still don’t think I can watch it.

I absolutely love books with a lil map at the start 🗺

Is it possible to read Frankenstein cover to back in 13 days…that is the question.

Amazing that the Great Defenders of Gaming Traditions are so surprised by the fact that Ciri will be the focus of The Witcher 4, a reveal that came out of nowhere at... the end of The Witcher 3

Oh that map is wonderful!

I hope you have fun, that sounds awesome lol

Man I'm sorry but Netflix and Mr. Beast have driven Squid Game into the ground, it no longer is cool commentary on society and is instead mindless content void of any artistic message

Can anybody here tell me why I keep on seeing random posts in German 😭

Yes! I have a finished fantasy novel but I still dislike the introduction. I’ve rewritten it once already, but im ready to do it again for the third editing phase.

Hi! My name is Simonne, and I’m a writer. I mostly write fantasy and gothic stories with queer characters, but have been dipping my toes into body horror for awhile now.

I love reading gothic classics and playing RPG games. I also make my own book covers! Not official, but they’re fun to make.
