I write fantasy about memory, decay, and impossible men. Artist in exile. Tea drinker. Probably emotionally compromised.

Please, let me further, past what’s safe to name;
admit me inward, where the borders flame—
to touch each scratch, each bleeding seam in you,
as deep as hurt, as close as hurt can do.

I got carried away with writing a new story, so I’ve been a bit off the radar. It feels like the antidepressants are finally doing their job, and I can be at least a little creative again!

#amwriting #writesky
For three days now I’ve been brewing plots in my head —though usually ideas for short stories come quickly. I think I’ve finally stumbled onto something that might be interesting. It’s terribly hard to scare others—and to scare myself—without slipping into cardboard tropes and clichés...

I decided to explore the theme of horror. I watch so many horror films and true crime, but coming up with a truly disturbing story is difficult for me. I tend to empathize with what’s supposed to be frightening. It’s hard to be afraid of a demon once you know its thoughts and vulnerabilities...
Today in #wipsnips one of my favorite beasts🥰
From one of my recent short stories.

As for descriptions, including the highly specific ones—my icon is Janet Fitch. What she does in White Oleander makes me want to reread it forever, and then try literally everything she mentions.

Hello #SummerOfStory!

Day 22: Specificity

Disclaimer: This is a prompt game to discuss common writing tips & techniques, not an attempt to tell people how to write.

Over to you: Do you write stories that pile on detail, or do you to let the reader’s imagination fill the gaps?

#WritingPrompt
Missed couple of days but here I am!
#wipsnips with my favorite boys🥰
hey, my story took third place in a writing competition on @writersblockds.bsky.social
shared third, so it kinda feels like fourth.
joy is sharing the place with a bit of disappointment.
still, proud of the piece and grateful it resonated with readers.

This week for the #reedsy prompts I wrote two stories. They turned out quite different, but in both I’m playing around with the theme of #horror. Though so far it never gets past the foreplay stage. You can read them on my page!

Because what literally happened to me was this: I let a guy into the novell — and he completely took it over. Unexpected af.
He turned out to be way too good to sideline, so I just let him spiral together with the poor MC.
Have you ever created a character who ended up completely reshaping the plot you had originally planned?
What did you do — did you follow where the character led, or did you "make" them do what needed?
what’s easier: changing the plot, or a character who’s already too willful?
#writersprompt
Tried Shadow and Bone because everyone raved about it.
I made it to page 7 and went to die in the pit. As a Russian-speaking writer… Not sure what hurt more: misspelled Russian words — or what she did with them.
People say it gets better by the second book.. should i give it a chance?

True story, that's how I burned out haha

One thing about my writing — someone’s always quoting poetry.
It might be a romantic haiku, a filthy folk rhyme, or a lullaby,
but if the moment allows it, you can be sure a verse will slip in.

I’m no great poet, so the verses are almost always short —
but I’m helpless to stop myself.

I've realized my writing carries a few unshakable habits… a shop door will have a bell, leaves will rustle in the breeze, colors stay vivid, and there's always a clock on the wall. These are my constants that make a world feel like home

What are yours?

I’ve written an entire world for my novell, layered thick with legends, literature, saints and their lives, folk tales and old ballads.
Much of it deserves at least a short story of its own.
It’s not exactly shelved away for “someday” — I do plan to write it all.
Unless I die first.
Do you have anything "trunked" that you'd like to revisit, polish up, and publish one day? What made you set it aside? What do you hope to do so it's ready? #WritingPrompt
Mor is the master of keeping a straight face —
so when even he can’t, I know something’s really off.

not to critique. NOT to critique.
Freud would be proud.
The rat brain slips out sometimes.
As a reader, I spotted a few recurring stumbles-ones I’d likely miss in my own writing. That’s what makes it so terrifying.
I’ll share a few thoughts soon-to critique, but to think aloud, in case something clicks for you too.
If you're curious what rats like me dig up-stay tuned.

I’ve been digging through the #reedsy short story pool lately.
Writers love being read, but don’t always read each other. Still, that ever-refreshing stack holds lessons in what works… and what doesn’t quite.

Oh, that’s easy! Mo Xiang Tong Xiu made me reconsider whether my intrigues were layered enough. And overall, her vivid, folklore-rich, deeply internal prose made me reread my draft for the hundredth time and deepen what had seemed like shallow waters. I adore her!

This week’s plans: working through burnout, step by step. It once spread from drawing to writing-that’s the risk of creative work. Push too hard, and the spark goes quiet. But I’m still here, and writing again, even a little, feels like a good sign.

Laurent is a classic bastard who blazes past us like a comet — but I kind of like him, so I generously granted him a childhood trauma to make him even more endearing. The sacred right of an author!

I’m still far from that level, since I keep finding ways to improve even after three reading and editing passes - so I’ve still got a lot to learn on this path :) Learning how to let a text go, and not torture it with endless edits, is also a skill I need to master!
