Introduction!

Hi everyone! Since I have recently started using tumblr as a means to share my writing and be a part of this community, I should probably introduce myself lol. My name is Sarah (as I think most of you know at this point) and I’ve been writing for fun for quite a while now. I’m in university as a music major but still enjoy art, writing, and reading. 

My Writing!

I am currently writing a fantasy series, but have written mysteries and sci-fi in the past. I’ve dabbled in poetry as well (granted, it is quite bad lol, but I enjoyed it). My current project is called The Fall and has proved to be a massive worldbuilding project. This project has been “in development” for about 4 years now and I am currently in the outlining process. I am hoping that being on here will help me stay determined with writing it! I still am planning to do a project intro as well so people can actually know what it is. It goes without saying, but I am super excited about this series!! I must admit, I am very anxious about sharing my work; I am terrified that I’ll get no interest or that this is how I’ll find out that this project is a bad idea. But yeehaw, I am attempting to ignore my anxiety and put myself out there!!! 

I am also working on some music projects (that I won’t really talk about on here) as well as a prequel to The Fall. I intend to focus mostly on this project because I truly want to see it through. But if you are curious about any of these as well, feel free to ask about them! I haven’t gotten a ton of writing done recently because of school, but I hope to have some scenes and chapters posted here throughout the summer!

 This is currently my only account of tumblr but I may create a blog entirely dedicated to writing. I reblog a lot of general writing stuff too so this is slowly turning into just a straight up writing blog (and I’m ok with that). That’s about it for me lol. Please send asks or tag me in things! I’m excited to meet more writers here as well!

I literally still haven't answered last week's STS asks (I've had company over so I've had like no time for anything much lmao) buy please still send asks!!! By the latest, I'll have them done on monday!!!

Six Sentence Sunday (On A Thursday)

Thank you for the tag @squarebracket-trick!! Hope me and my notoriously late responses are amusing 😂 here's my latest excerpt (from book 4)

They stood motionless and taciturn, almost daring Tristan to move closer. A black cloak and mask, the likes of which he'd seen used to protect against the Sirudian dust storms of the season, covered the top half of their face. A hat (like his own) shielded them from the oppressive Candosian sun. All he could see of this one was their eyes. Eyes that were fixated on him. Green eyes that looked like his - eyes of someone willing to do anything for self-gain and survival.

I would like to nominate “You promised” “I know” as one of the most heartbreaking exchanges in the english language

It’s about the quiet betrayal, about resignation in place of an apology, the helpess admittance that thing have changed, that they know they promised but they have to break it this time, for whatever reason…

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

John le Carré has not, at any point, been fucking around.
