writeblr intro: stuffaboutwriting
about me
Hi! I’m Kelsey (she/her), and I’m 23 and live in the U.S. I’ve been part of writeblr for the past few years but my participation kind of faded over the last year, so I’m trying to get involved in the community again. I recently graduated from university and have a full time job, so I write when I can. One day I’d like to get my work published but for now I’m just writing for fun.
about the blog
This blog is mostly a writing resource for myself and my followers now. It includes writing-related humor, advice, sources on practical information like injuries and weapons as well as character related information such as writing characters with disabilities, etc.
Back when I was really active I first posted about my mmeib series (see below) and then the fanfic I’ve been writing, but I got overwhelmed with posting my writing, etc, hence why I’ve been a little quiet over the past year. At this point I’d just like to get involved in the community again, so aside from tag games I don’t know how much of my own writing I’ll post.
Mostly I’m looking to reblog cool writing resources, learn about other writeblr’s wips, and interact with writeblr in general again (related tags: writing stuff | not my writing | writeblr intro | useful info for writing).
Feel free to tag me in tag games (I can be slow to respond but I’ll do my best to answer) or reach out in general. I’d love to chat about other people’s wips! (Also this a side blog, so I follow from my main blog sleepyoceaneyes)

I went to the beach and saw this vortex repeating the same pattern over and over in the sand.

Fanfic authors: READ THE WHOLE FUCKING PAGE
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE LESSONS YOU CAN LEARN AS A WRITER. I SAY THIS AS A READER AND A PROFESSIONAL GENRE EDITOR.

“I did it for you” has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

You are not falling behind. If you haven’t touched your WIP in weeks, if you haven’t come up with a new idea, if you haven’t gotten your book done and it’s been 3 years, it’s okay. You are not falling behind. Unless we are obligated to reach a deadline, we begin to believe that we are failing. We see countless people finishing their projects, selling their books, succeeding in the field you’re in. And it’s hard not to compare yourself to them, you’re similar but they are doing the work, and you haven’t written a paragraph in over a month.
Comparing yourself to others is a downward spiral that will never give you satisfaction. It’s a difficult thing to try and overcome or ignore, but you have to. Instead of seeing other people’s victories as a failure on your side, try and see them as goals. Goals to reach, inspiration to get back to your WIP, write that paragraph, or finally try and finish that book.
There is no secret that they know, and you don’t. They aren’t worse or better than you. There is no right answer. No finish line you need to cross. You work at your own pace, create goals to strive to and try not to compare your progress to others. Enjoy the process!

Here’s to the people who can’t get the words on the page. The people who are too tired after all life throws at them to write. The people who are blocked. The people who are burnt out. The people who can’t write because of physical or mental illnesses. The people who don’t know why they can’t write. And the people struggling with all those other things that get in the way of writing and make it seem or be impossible.
You’re still a writer, you’re still an artist. And you matter. This world is better since you’re in it. Thank you for wanting to write, even if you can’t right now. I hope you and your words find each other soon.
