I’m Lina ^^ I’ve been on tumblr for several years now (following from @lucenoire). But this is my first time venturing into the writeblr realm. I recently moved to the U.S. and took up a new job as a technical writer (previously was a financial analyst). And along with some other factors/big life changes, it’s sparked me to get back into more creative/literary writing again.
I’m looking forward to meeting and supporting other writers – as well as making some new friends and (finally!) making progress on my writing projects.
— a little bit about me
She/her, 26 (with the mindset of an 80-year-old hermit)
Taurus, INTJ, 6w5
Double-majored in math and music
Only one continent left on my travel list
Fluent in five+ languages (English isn’t my first)
I’m really particular with aesthetics, so it’ll take me a little bit to fully set up pages (about me, wips, characters, etc.). But in the meantime, if you’re curious about anything, feel free to drop me an ask/message ^^
— a little bit about my writing
If I listed my favorite authors, it’d be a dead giveaway of where I’m originally from. (I have to keep some mystery alive here.) But I mostly enjoy crime/mystery thrillers and psychological horror novels, with the occasional fantasy one thrown into the mix.
I’m also influenced by my heavy tv watching. Lots of crime/horror thrillers and medical dramas, with the occasional contemporary romance show. Not a huge fan of movies and animations. Not sure why, but I’m more picky with them over anything else.
Overall, I mostly dabble in na contemporary, fantasy, horror, and dystopia – although I’m not entirely married to any single genre and might branch out and try my hand at others in the future. Process-wise, there’s a ton of writing out of order in this household because I tend to outline and write simultaneously on whatever resonates with me first.
— wips
My wips page is also under construction, but I hope to make some wip/character posts soon! All titles are subject to change (particularly those marked with *) because I have a fickle, picky brain. But here’s the basic rundown…
Bloodthread || na contemporary fantasy || outlining & writing
Bound by the laws of fate, Weavers watch over the red strands keeping soulmates entwined. Contrary to their titles, though, they’re forbidden from bringing people together. In fact, their only task is to tear connections apart. But Jinah wants nothing to do with her birthright. And she’ll do anything she can to shun her responsibilities – that is, until she’s forced to choose between pursuing her own happiness for the first time in her life and utterly destroying someone else’s existence.
Escaping the Water Village* || na contemporary thriller || planning & outlining
No one’s perfect. So when the president manages to escape the attempt on her life, her worst secrets threaten to come to light in the aftermath. Years of careful strategy and everything she’s worked so hard to protect are on the verge of unraveling right before her eyes. And at the center of it all is two bodyguards, two half-sisters, and the dark history of one very broken family.
Labyrinth of the Wretched* || na dystopian fantasy || planning
Monsters. That’s what society calls them. They’re the children of the worst criminals, forced to continue paying for their parents’ sins. But the “real” monsters emerge each night in the Gaia, the elaborate maze the ruling class has set up for these cursed descendants to fight their way out of. There’s just one problem… Kaede isn’t affected by any of Gaia’s monsters, rendering her practically immortal. Determined to survive, she devises a scheme to cheat the maze system – all while playing by the house rules. And no one can do a damn thing to stop her.
Venom’s Inheritance || na contemporary fantasy || planning
Anais is a hopeless romantic with a terrible genetic fortune. Born with a mutation, her tattoo will never match with her soulmate’s like intended. Instead, it’ll kill her slowly, poisoning her blood – unless, of course, she manages to find her soulmate in time. And stubborn as ever, Anais refuses to get the removal surgery that would save her life (at the cost of her soulmate’s). So with nothing to guide her, she sets out on a trip to make her death wish worthwhile.
A Shattered Coronation* || na dystopian fantasy || planning
Everyone in Aurealis is a twin. And per tradition, one’s twenty-fifth birthday is the day of judgment; the forced duel between what should be inseparable siblings. Winning means living. Losing means inevitable death. Stronger, faster, and smarter, Lucien and Eirya are favored to win their respective battles. But when they both decide to throw their matches, they find that everything in their world is far more fragile than it appears.
The Occult Club || na dark fantasy || outlining & writing
Something wicked this way comes – a collection of short stories on the supernatural and death. Here, you’ll meet a potential cure for a zombie apocalypse ravaging the Chinese countryside… a detective harboring a dark, secret sidekick… a small-town cameraman possessed by something sinister… a serial killer who meets an unexpected match… and much more.
No but the shades of magic series is just Holland being “this is my boyfriend Kell and Kell’s girlfriend Delilah and her bestie Alucard who’s also Rhy’s boyfriend”
