From journal of March 17, 2024
And you thought if you could change yourself and bend your personality a little you will be able to fit with them. So you tried to mould yourself in order to be liked by them. Tried to blend in by doing things they wanted to, tried to become more talkative or funny according to them, talked about things that never excited you, tried to be more feminine or masculine, tried to fit into their definition of normal. And you were so good at it that they never saw the real you and sadly neither did you. And in the end you lost everything, the people who were never yours and most importantly yourself.

hi! :)
a writeblr introduction
Tumblr media
helllooo & welcome to this lil account of mine! so my name is osiris and i'm relatively new to tumblr (i've tried to ease my way into the community multiple times to no avail), and as a writer i thought i'd try my hand at making some friends in the community as a way to grow and improve my writing!
about me
i'm an computer science and english student
I'm 18, and a gemini
he/him
marvel & game of thrones lover
fantasy, sci-fi, & romance writer
lover of lana del rey and autumn
some goals
use tumblr as way of sticking to a wip 👀
write more regularly and frequently
dip my toes into screenwriting & filmmaking
interact with the amazing people of this community and make friends <3
to learn how to engage in fantasy roleplay and learn how to play dungeons & dragons
writing
my current wip is a political war fantasy with sci-fi elements and it's currently in the outline stage
i would like to get better at worldbuilding and creating more expansive and fleshed out worlds like asoiaf and cosmere
i write fantasy & sci-fi but i also have a soft spot for romance, psychological thrillers, and spy stories.
one of my main goals is to write one of the most heart-wrenching, angsty corruption arcs
I've never actually had a successful NaNoWriMo...
would love to do beta reading and critiquing to help improve both of our writing!
also a sucker for any epic fantasy, dark fantasy, sci-fi, corruption or redemption arcs, stories where the villains are the main character (especially this!!!), and an ACTUAL enemies to lovers trope
if your wips feature any of these ^^^ things, then reblog this with your wip details/page because i'd love to check it out!
and with all that being said.....
i am sooo looking forward to meeting you guys! <3

What does it feel like to resurrect?
Perhaps there is a gentle stream to wash away the mistakes,to clear you of blemishes and aches.
Maybe it's heavy soil that chokes you and buries your lungs until you cough up something alive.
I like to think its a burning , one that spreads from a heavy heart to a muddled head, molten regret that eats away at the weariness and apathy. Renewed in fire lit by the lone thought: enough is enough.
Externally there is little trace of any change, only the faint smell of burning skin. Now thickened. Once thin.
February prompt 1. Burning skin @nosebleedclub

My mother in 2011: I'm going to write letters to my six year old child pretending to be fairies that live at the bottom of our garden. I'm sure that would have no impact on her development.
Also my mother but in 2023: You're a fantasy writer? now that's surprising

When seeking commercial success with writing you need to be realistic. Just because something shouldn’t be the way it is doesn’t mean you can ignore that reality.
What I mean: 
People do judge a book by it’s cover, unless you’re talented and have done your research it will negatively impact you not to pay a professional.
Marketing a book isn’t about how good your book is. It’s an entirely different skillset you’ll need to pick up whether you get indie published or traditionally published. 
If you’re writing something niche you can’t expect the marketing advice of people writing and selling something with wide scale appeal to work for you. You’ll need to find a way to advertise directly to the communities that surround your niche. 
Bigots read and buy books.
Publishing a book is fucking expensive but cutting corners is quickly noticeable. 
Publishers don’t take as many risks as they should, they’re increasingly letting indie authors take risks and prove that certain types of story can make it. You might have to wait for someone else to prove your kind of story works in the indie space to get any traction in the trad space.
I doubt any of these really surprise anyone. But anytime something is unfair or wrong in publishing whether indie or trad I see a lot of writers say something like ‘well people shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover so I’m making my own anyway’ as if saying that somehow changes reality. Let’s be realistic but hopeful and defiant as we head into 2023. Like the pragmatic side character who’s with the hero till the bitter end.
(Also how else are we meant to judge your book in a sea of others, when there’s so many that picking one off the shelf or clicking on to see the blurb is a decision of itself??)
