Hello everyone! You can call me daisy if you want to. I’m an editor in my 20s and the world’s slowest writer!

What you’ll find on my blog is mostly writing-related content, art (my own and reblogs) and rambling about my own wips, the books I read, and general life updates, as well as anything else that strikes my fancy

I’m generally interested in fantasy but I also dabble in scifi, historical, contemporary, whatever looks interesting

always tag game friendly but I do them based on the capricious whims of my brain gremlins

feel free to come to me with any copyediting/grammar related questions btw! I am a nerd about this kind of thing for real

always on the lookout for writing friends but also everyone is welcome feel free to come and chat about books or art or linguistics or folklore or whatever you want

Check out my art (creatively tagged “#my art”) and my writing (you’ll never guess)

Main projects:

Deep and Dark, Beautiful and Bright

(working title: second chance wip) tag: second chance wip

Two people wake up with no memories. The world they stumble into is scarred and ruined—something terrible has happened here, long ago. Stumbling upon a treasure hunting party, they are relieved to find that a remnant of humanity has managed to survive, making their homes among the ruins of a past age. But when their memories begin to resurface, they are forced to question if they can really trust each other.

Starring: Trip, a thief who poses as the chosen one to escape his criminal record, and Lya, another (so-called) chosen one, who’s world-saving destiny is getting more complicated than planned

Fantasy with sci-fi and horror elements. Romance but really weird about it. Story switches between pre-apocalyse (past timeline) and post-apocalypse (present timeline). Maybe this is a book (or series) in final form, or maybe it’s supposed to be a monster-length web serial. who knows

Fear Me (working title: Starlight; also starlightverse*) tag: starlightwip

Alya and her brother Eli have grown up on the run, hiding from the mysterious cult of Rin. When their pursuer finally catches up to them, their guardian is left dead and the siblings are separated. Alya’s quest to find her brother brings her back to her native land of Daenar, into a world of cutthroat politics and secret societies, marked by a series of ritualistic murders.

She finds refuge with her mysterious aunt, a high-ranking government official who teaches Alya to harness the power to manipulate the emotions of others. Maybe there was a good reason she grew up on foreign soil. But Alya will do anything to find Eli, even if it means leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.

*“starlightverse” referring to the full storyline, which is three books in total if I ever get that far I mean When I get that far

Back burnered but I might briefly resurrect and post about them without warning:

The Long, Long Way to Kaminatra (tag: tllwtk) • intro post

An unlikely duo is conscripted to escort a princess with a target on her head to her coronation in a faraway city. Hijinks ensue, the plot does some twists, etc. etc.

medicines will say "maximum strength" on the box and then do absolutely nothing

the easiest healthy eating tip I have is just to always keep a big bag of frozen peas and and a big bag of frozen blueberries if you have any access to freezer space. you literally can just eat them frozen as a snack don’t have to cook or do anything to them. don’t have to worry about them going bad in 2.5 days. you can always have a fruit and a vegetable on hand to make sure you get at least one of each into your diet on any given day
