Teen Writers - Tumblr Posts

hello!! message for any teens/tweens/children, idk, but here’s the message:

WRITE AND DRAW YOUR STORIES.

i see so many people making fun of kids and their ‘cringey, edgy phases’, but seriously fuck them. who gives a shit if it’s cringe or edgy, if it makes you happy.

NOW GO AND TELL YOUR STORIES AND DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO GIVE YOU SHIT FOR IT. THROW THEM OUT A WINDOW.

(idk what it is but the wording of this post make it sound like it was written by an adult, i am a teenager myself :D)

ok. so. i hear that you’re supposed to advertise your book before you publish, (duh) and i was thinking—what better way to do that than to post little snippets and stuff of my WIPs here on Tumblr?? i just wanna know if y’all would be interested in reading them!! (there is a poll at the end)

(whump community, i feel like y’all will especially really like this!!!)

so. for a summary of the universe: (i have many books and they are all so far in the same universe)

i basically took the Little Nightmares universe and then very heavily edited and changed it. i made lore for what causes the end of the world, added a bunch of new characters, locations, and other lore, and then there’s two continents—the Distorted Continent, and the ‘Normal’ Continent. the Distorted Continent is where all the monsters are, it’s under the Tower’s control, it’s FULL of monsters, distorted adults, and then a bunch of kids who have to try to survive it. the ‘Normal’ Continent was also affected, but it’s away from the Tower’s influence for the most part. it’s populated by humans and nonhumans—the nonhumans are things like demons, avians, (winged people) elves, orcs, et cetera. there’s also books set in the before and after of the world being ‘destroyed’. (the before is just the ordinary IRL world mostly)

ok, with the basics of the universe out of the way, here’s what my main book(s) is about.

the main plot centers around a group of kids. in the first book, they live in the distorted continent, and the plot centers around them traveling through there and trying to survive. the second book has a timeskip where they’re teenagers and live in the ‘normal’ continent, that plot centers more around the conflict between humans and nonhumans.

there is a LOT of whump. all the characters are queer in some way, most of them are neurodivergent, and about half are POC. there is also a very large female cast.

(also a bunch of secondary books, most of which relate to each other in some way, plus there’ll be a Gen2 for the main cast. lots of stuff. the genre is horror, and did i mention how much whump there is?? whump community should love this, plus any enjoyers of angst, hurt/comfort, and queer characters ^^)

anyways. my question. (also, if y’all read this far, thank you!!

Thank you for the tag!!!

->“This concludes your tour of the Refuge, if you need anything else from me, I’ll be talking to Pen and Alex at the Starlight.” And with that she was off back to the quaint tea shop.<-

This making sense on its own probably says something about my writing style...

Last Line Tag Game!

Thank you for the tag, @amaiguri!

The last thing I technically wrote was a very spoilery line for Stained Integrity, so I'm going to post the last line I wrote from another WIP (Minding Q's):

He was already done dealing with people for the night—and possibly the rest of the year.

...I'm realizing this is actually kind of funny when there's absolutely zero context.

I'm willing to bet that some of y'all have done this already but I'm gently tagging (with no pressure): @my-cursed-prince, @harleyacoincidence, @officialzombeefish, @holdmyteaplease, @leisoree, and anyone else that wants to join in!

I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of tag games so I'm sorry if I'm a little clumsy
