Writing With Pen

@writingwithpen

🌼 she/her | 21 | find me on ig @writing.with.pen 🌼

Hi there! I'm Pen, and welcome to my writing blog!

Last summer I started a writergram, but I tend to be more active on Tumblr so I figured it'd be a good idea to start a blog too! Expect tips and tricks for writing, as well as character posts and updates on my WIPs!

One of my favourite things about the writing community is that it's incredibly welcoming, supportive, and uplifting. Constructive criticism is welcomed and encouraged - bullying/hateful speech to anyone is not.

I created this account to connect with other writers and members of the community - let's keep it kind!

Acrostic Tag Game! ✨

I got tagged by none other than @rayne143 (absolutely love your work 💕), so of course we're doing this too! :D

Not gonna lie, I had to spend some time digging through my WIP to find sentences that actually start with the letters of rainbow 🌈—but hey, I pulled it off! 🎉

R ~ Relief flooded his chest, but he fought the urge to grin.

A ~ Apparently she saw something in him that Kasey couldn’t.

I ~ If Nexus had given him the assignment when they were supposed to, he could’ve grabbed the kid the first time.

N ~ Nexus wants it clean, assets alive, product intact.

B ~ "Be more careful with good work, kid."

O ~ Overgrown with rust and ivy, like nature itself tried to reclaim what progress had discarded.

W ~ “Why’s everyone sending guys after me?! I’m not radioactive!” Kasey yelped, his voice cracking.

For the next round, my word is... raven 👀🐦‍⬛

And as always—if you’ve been tagged before or just don’t feel like it, no pressure💜

Much love and void cookies 🍪 from yours truly, chaotic gremlin—

— Lofi 🌟💜

Spectacular question thank you

I go feral for cheddar

Tagged by @nightmaricwriter - thank you!!

The words I was given were blood, death, fight, violence, red, calm, and peace (not all of these will not be found in my wip so I apologize!)

Death:

“You heard what he did to that hiker, right? You’ve got to have some sort of death wish if you really want to go out there looking for him.”

Fight:

“About the bear thing – if it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, stand down.”

Red:

The lights on the phone were already blinking red.

Calm/Peace:

Eileen turned to glance out the window. Everything seemed peaceful; a calm, picturesque neighbourhood.

I don't have the words 'blood' or 'violence' unfortunately...yet...haha...unless...👀

Your words to find in your wip(s) are:

-Love

-Scar

-Sun

-Headache

-Hold

🍂 Fall Bookish Bingo 🍂

I've just recently dragged myself out of a two-month reading slump, and I thought what better way to celebrate overcoming my hurdle than creating something to make me excited about reading again! Pair that with my favorite season coming up, and this fall bookish bingo was created!

Please feel free to use it for yourself if it resonates with you! I would love to hear about what books you choose for the prompts! These prompts are completely up to your own interpretation, of course. If you feel stuck on any of them, do feel free to leave a comment, and I'll see if I can think of anything to suggest!

So, what is the time frame for this bookish bingo? That's completely up to you and when your time-frame of fall is. Personally, I'll be using this starting September 1st and going through the end of October, but you can absolutely go longer than that!

I hope you enjoy and happy reading! 🎃

If anyone has any recs let me know!!

First draft affirmation.

When it's too complicated and overwhelming:

This draft doesn't need to be anything but done.

This draft doesn't need to be anything but done.

This draft doesn't need to be anything but done.

This draft doesn't need to be anything but done.

THIS DRAFT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ANYTHING BUT DONE !!!

one of the things I dislike about AI is how it also makes people suspect/question real artists/real writers if their works are AI generated.

it’s so discouraging for real artists and real writers to hear someone ask or suspect if a work they spent months (or years) working on, putting so much love and dedication into, are AI generated, done by soulless robots in less than one minute.

(it’s just as discouraging even if they didn’t spend months working on their works, because it is still something they created out of love and passion.)

if a real human-made art looks AI to you, that’s because AI was trained on human-made art and programmed to mimic human-made art.

if a real human-made fic reads like AI to you, that’s because AI was trained on human-made fics and programmed to mimic human-made fics.
