WRITEBLR RE-INTRO

Hello beautiful people of Tumblr! It’s me Yejide again! You might’ve been wondering where my account went, and it’s because I accidentally deleted it all! I was trying to delete a blog I accidentally created and then I didn’t realize I was deleting my entire account, so after my mental breakdown I’m here now. I’m doing a re-introduction to those who know me and don’t. I’m going to try to rebuild this account as much as I can and store four years of memories here!

About Me:

My name is Yejide, but I go by Yeji or 'Your Mutual'. I'm a minor and Nigerian-Canadian. My pronouns are she/her.

My interests are writing (obvs), dancing/performing, reading, playing music, watching cartoons, watching YouTube, creating long Twitter threads and listening to k-pop. I am a student at some random-ass high school in Canada.

About My Writing:

I've been on writeblr for about three years, but since I accidentally deleted my account, there's no proof of this, so take this as you will. I love being in a community with other writers, so PLEASE tag me in tag games and talk about your WIPS with me!

My favourite genres to write are speculative fiction and contemporary fiction. I'll dabble in mystery or historical fiction once in a while.

I currently work (volunteer) at two online publications, so I'm excited to get literary experience and work with other writers.

My top two current WIPS are The Order of the Key (science-fantasy) and You and Me [Plus Everyone in Between Us] (contemporary). (reintroductions coming soon!)

I have a young adult, sci-fi/cyberpunk series called Rogue that's currently published online! It's about a girl and her friends who try to prove themselves to the gaming world in a virtual reality competition. However, must now defeat a deadly hacker who plans to merge reality and virtual reality.

I'll be making more posts in the future!

You can read my sci-fi duology Rogue HERE!

2023 WRITING UPDATE | January 3, 2023

☀ INTRODUCTION ☀

After a very fun comeback to Tumblr, here are all my less-ambitious goals for 2023!

☀ STATISTICS ☀

Projects I've worked on: You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us), The Order of the Key, and assorted short stories and poems.

Proudest Accomplishment: Getting published in a small indie magazine!

☀ COMMENTS ☀

Halfway through this year, I gave up on every single writing goal I set for myself last year, prompted by burnout that caused almost a year-long writer's block. It felt very bad, but also relieving because I had to re-learn why I loved writing in the first place.

This year I quit Camp Nano twice, but I also finished editing and publishing Enigma online which was nice. I also got published twice in some small press magazines, which helped to kickstart my writing career.

I got into writing poetry this year and took my chances submitting to magazines and journals. I got rejected from most of them, but accepted into two. I've also started two writing-related volunteer jobs, which could be helpful for the future and gaining experience!

This year I'm taking my writing career more seriously because I want to write in the future. I also want to focus more on not exerting myself and burning out again. This means fewer novels, more editing, and more focus on short work. I realized less is more.

☀ GOALS ☀

Edit and edit The Order of the Key.

Outline and write one new novel for NaNoWriMo.

Write more poetry and short stories and submit them to more publications.

Outline the rest of The Order series.

If all goes well, make editing plans for Misfits and You and Me (Plus Everything In Between Us).

Do consistent writing updates throughout the year.

That's it! Let's hope 2023 is easy!

You can read ENIGMA HERE!
