POSTS STORIES REELS

What's the weirdest thing you've done in the name of creativity? 👀

My friend spent the day working in a lab, taking measurements and analyzing data.

Me? I wrote a spell. 😂

A spell made from a mix of Ancient Greek, Romanian, Latin and a little bit of creative nonsense.

Is it an actual language? Absolutely not.
Is it the language of magic in my book Reboot? Absolutely.

Have I completely lost my mind? Possibly. 😂✨

But hey, at least my fictional characters can now cast spells!

Want to read about the world where this language exists? Reboot is available to read on Inkitt! You'll find the link in my bio. 📖

The finish line is finally in sight! 🥹

I'm putting the final pieces of Reboot together, and soon I'll have a complete first draft.

And honestly? Finishing a story is an achievement in itself. There are so many ideas, unfinished chapters and stories that never make it to the end. But this one is getting there.

Next up: editing, beta reading and probably a whole lot more editing. 😂

One step at a time. We're getting there! ❤️

New haircut, new energy, new writing plans! ✂️✨📚

New hair unlocked. Writer's block, you're next. 😂

Sometimes a little change is exactly what you need to feel like yourself again. And now? I'm hoping to turn that fresh energy into LOTS of writing! 📝💻

More chapters, more stories, more time spent with my fictional characters (who are honestly taking up way too much space in my head already 👀).

The stories aren't going to write themselves, unfortunately. So here's to a fresh start, renewed motivation, and getting those words flowing again! 💛

Now tell me: Do you also get the urge to change your entire life after a haircut, or is it just me? 😂✂️

“This or That” collab with @lizgilday.writing and @vith_tessa

Hi, I’m Liz, an aspiring author, avid reader, and university student studying psychology. I’ve written four novels regarding MG and YA fantasy and sci-fi! Soon, I plan to start a YA romantasy with themes of royal love, arranged marriage, outlaws, and secrets!

Hi, I’m Tessa, also an aspiring author! I graduated with a master’s degree in geoscience last year, and now I’m figuring out my next chapter in life. I love reading and writing sci-fi and fantasy. One of my books is set to be published in spring 2027! Right now, I’m working on two fantasy novels featuring strong female main characters, loyalty, magic, and maybe a little romance.

Hit the follow if you’re interested with following along with our journeys!

The entire story is playing in my head like a movie. 🎬

I know what happens. I know what my characters are going to say. I can practically SEE every scene.

But when I open my document and try to put it into words? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. 🫠

Some days, the story practically writes itself. Other days, even the desire to write isn't enough to get the words onto the page. Writer's block, low energy, life getting in the way… sometimes your brain just refuses to cooperate.

And the worst part? The story is STILL THERE. It's just stuck somewhere between my brain and my keyboard. 😂

Fellow writers, tell me I'm not alone:

What's harder for you?
✨ Getting the story out of your head and onto the page?
✨ Or figuring out what happens next?

And what do you do when writer's block hits? 👇

✨ **The person behind the stories.** 📚

I'm a science nerd, a nature and animal lover, someone who is always planning the next trip, and someone who loves baking, cooking and creating new worlds through writing.

My stories have been part of my life for years. *Scouts I* started with handwritten notes during school about ten years ago, and now it's in editing with Galatea. Meanwhile, *The Dark Curse* and *Reboot* are available on Inkitt, and I'm working on more stories along the way. 🖤

Every story has its own world, but there's a little piece of me in all of them.

📚 **For readers:** What makes you curious about a new author — their personality, their stories, or a little bit of both?

✍️ **For writers:** What do you love doing outside of writing? And has one of your stories been with you for years, too?

Tell me in the comments — I'd love to get to know you! 🖤

“I just want to know that I’m not going crazy.” 🖤

Oh, Izzy… if only you knew. 👀

Sometimes your characters just want answers. And sometimes you, as the author, are the reason they need therapy. 🫠

Sorry, Izzy. I promise I’m putting you through all this for a reason. (Probably.) 😂

📚 Have you ever read a book that made you question everything? Or had a character you just wanted to hug and tell them everything would be okay?

And writers… be honest. Do you ever feel bad for what you put your characters through, or is putting them through emotional chaos half the fun? 👀

✨ Three girls. Strange events. Secrets, supernatural mysteries, and questions that don’t have easy answers.

*Reboot* is a mystery, fantasy and sci-fi story available on Inkitt!

📖 Read *Reboot* — link in bio. 🖤

Just me, my characters, and the chaos in my head. ✍️📚

A little chaos, a lot of stories, and one book at a time. 🖤✨

I'm always creating new worlds, falling in love with my characters, and putting them through things they probably don't deserve. 👀

📖 Want to dive into my stories? You can read them on Inkitt! Link in bio. 💫

Some monsters are born. Others are created. 🖤

A little glimpse into one of my future stories — a villain origin story that might just break your heart.

Would you read a story from the villain's perspective?

“Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self.” — Cyril Connolly 🖤

A little reminder for every writer who sometimes gets caught up in views, likes, reads and numbers.

At the end of the day, the story still has to mean something to you.

Do you write primarily for yourself, for your readers, or somewhere in between? 👀

#WritingCommunity #AuthorJourney #WriterLife #IndieAuthor #WritingInspiration by @vith_tessa

Do your characters actually follow your plans, or do they just do whatever they want? 😂✍️

You start with a plot, a plan, and a clear idea of where the story is going…

And then your characters decide they have other plans. Suddenly, you have new subplots, unexpected drama, and 15 chapters of consequences. 🫠

Please tell me I'm not the only writer dealing with this. 😂👇
