Hi! You can call me Sage or Amara. I'm a young-ish [I refuse to claim that being almost 29 is "old"] writer working on a series of original fiction fantasy and science fantasy books. I also write fanfiction for Wicked and Dragon Age mostly. It's hopefully going to be a good time here.

Rip I was trying to have a conversation on threads but my WiFi crashed and now I’m sitting outside in the heat at the start of a thunderstorm trying to get my hotspot to work long enough to post a reply. It’s actually starting to feel decent outside because of the rain tho.

I think I’m going to make my own website for the lore and stuff about my books using the platform Obsidian.md but I’m not sure yet how it’s going to look. If the adhd lets me, I’ll try to keep updates about its progress here!

Sometimes I get to the point in writing where I actually have to, create new sentences, and my dumb lil brain just immediately protests with "what do you mean I have to make up stuff now? That's a lot of work!" Yes brain, creating is a lot of work. It's also your job, please do it.

I’m scared to post my face on here because I hate how it looks when I’m dealing with allergic rashes all over it (which is almost always). I’m also worried that people who know me irl will somehow find me (it happened with my twitter) and start being annoying about it.

I’m very obsessive about my writing to the degree that part of my entire process involves writing, by hand, multiple different copies of the stories I’m working on with varying degrees of changes between them. I truly believe there’s a perfect pen, ink, and notebook combo for each story. #writing

My fountain pen keeps leaking ink all over my fingers and I don’t know why? It’s like it’s leaking into the cap and getting all over the grip but it doesn’t actually actively leak when I’m using it? It’s just a jinhao 65 so it’s not a big deal to replace it but nib qc on such cheap pens is lacking.

My boss at work thinks it’s cool that I write stories. I guess that’s why she lets me get away with writing them on the clock when we don’t have customers xD

I bought a copy of the hardcover special edition Legends and Lattes book and the whole cover is on upside down? I'm keeping my extra special book, I'm just confused xD

Sometimes I find my old fanfics and I’m like “oh I should work on these again.” How do I calm the adhd down so I can actually work on one thing? Obviously, I don’t I just work on all the things at once. Does this go well? No, but it does go. I can sometimes actually progress something too!

I feel like I fell asleep behind the wheel here on this account but I promise it’s just cause my day (technically night) job is doing a remodel of the store and I’ve been a bit preoccupied with making sure I don’t accidentally inhale a lung full on concrete dust or something like that.

I’m hopeful that some day I will be able to look at the world I made and see a bunch of people adding their own twist on it and collaborating to build it bigger and more detailed every day (or at least every so often). This is part of why I aspire to also make it a ttrpg setting. Creative collabs!

I draft most of my work by hand with fountain pens, here’s the introductory page I wrote for one of my stories. It’s written with the pen I got for my birthday, a TWSBI eco with a 1.1mm nib.

Would I be rude to ask my friend who offered to take me to lunch at "any restaurant I choose" for my birthday to instead take me to a stationary store that's around an hour away (the restaurant offer was in the city that's about halfway between) because I want a new pen instead?

Funny how people misspell words so often that autocorrect designates the incorrect spelling as the right one. In this case “fridge raider” instead of refrigerator.

I sincerely want to know people's opinions on the use of strikethrough to indicate a character is struggling with conflicting thoughts and emotions because they're either in denial of something, or trying to actively fight against their own internalized issues.

A small fact: I'm learning Portuguese with the intention of some day being able to translate my own work or write short stories for a Portuguese speaking audience. This goal was inspired by the fact that my best friend lives in Brazil and said that not enough things get translated to their language.
