The troops in my WIP explaned (The first mages)

I see all kinds of challenges on instagram but because of the way I creat content on there I rarely join them.So I though why not do them here? I've seen "How similar is your wip to mine". This post is inspired by it.Let's get this started! I am writing a high fantasy thrilogy. And by that I mean I am writing a magical three book series about saving the world. Low magig system, which...

Let's talk about the bro/sis conflict

As of today a stranger on the Internet thinks they can argue with me.There was a post with the most cliche quotes and the person mention that siblings calling each other bro/sis is unrealistic and cringe.For most it is but not for everyone. And I said that in the comments. Usually siblings come and even though they don't agree they understand that there is no right way to be siblings. But today...

Me as a reader

I just finish Falling for Rachel, had a cup of water and a thought.Before I give you a review I thought that I should explane my connection with reading as a whole.After I was thought to read I really enjoyed it. I loved it and I read a lot. I even made my parents stop the car on vacation because I saw a book about wolves. Long story short they got me the book and I made myself sick by reading it...

Talking about my horror addiction

Another post where I'll do anything but admit that I have a problem. Next time I'm gonna talk about how fucked up my sleep schedule is!So. Horror. Getting scared, and spooked out of your mind. I've noticed this for a while but I'm gonna tell you how it progressed and why I think it is what it is. So for a very long time I was obsessed with the idea of horror but dared not commit it myself. I had a...

How I got my pen name

Writing this exclusivly because I got asked about it on instagram.If you were wondering about it you can thank Bethany Meyer (a.k.a Scribbledfiction) for that. Saline Necrowood Stone is a pen name. If you thought it's my real name I'd be flattered.I got Saline from a name generator. It connected it with water in some way. I don't remember. I just like the name. It gives me fantasy vibes. I...

Unus Annus

If you don't know what this means and your turning to the translator I will stop you right now.It means "One year". But not only that. Unus Annus was a channel that Mark (markiplier) and Ethan (crankgameplays) created and deleted after a year. They uploaded daily for an entire year. Didn't miss a day.I've watched all the videos and was there for the last two hours of their live stream. The lesson...

I broke a promise

I ones became obsessed with outlining and so I tried planing my WIP.I made lists, figured out plot points, connected different events. I went all in on that detective roll.I later scrapped all that with one dialogue line. But that's not the point of this post. One of the lists that I made was "Immune characters" this means characters that will survive the series. It included the four MCs and...

Talking about my coffee addiction

If you're one of the few people that view my story you know that I drink a lot of coffee. And today I'm going to tell you about how I got here.It all started when I was a little menace, standing there menacingly. My grandma was watching over me that one time, left her coffee on the sink and made the mistake of leaving me alone in the room. And what did Sal do? Oh, let me tell ya. She grabbed a chair,...

My November goal (+list)

I will not be joining NaNoWriMo. So sad, I know. But I still want to progress in a way. So I collected a list of things to work on doing November. Now most of those I wrote with my WIP in mind so they might be a little too spesicif. They are not ment to be followed day by day. There are 34 points and there's no month with that much days. If you want to join me do which ever point you feel like. If...

The magnifying glass

If you follow my instagram activity you'll know what I'm talking about.Recently I mentioned that it was gifted to me with a joke and today I'm going to tell you what it is.Before I started wearing glasses (I have astigmatism, low percent) I always kept the phone close to my eyes. My grandpa started joking that he was gonna get me a magnifying glass so that I don't look at the screen this close. To...

I made some changes...

Sooo... I made some changes.I will no longer post tips, or maybe just not focuse on this niche of the blogging community. Bethany Meyer explaned it better than I ever will so go check her post on the topic.Long story short I don't think I know enough to give tips and it's overwhelming.But, I will continue postin my opinion, real life stories, and short stories. These are much more fun to write and...

Why I don't write with pen and paper

          The short answer is because it's simply not for me.     The long answer has a story.          Ones upon a time I was a writer happy writing on her phone.     And ones upon a time my sister was like "Hey, why don't you write on paper? It's easier for me, you also won't damage your eyes as much."     So...

The series that thaught me everything in my writing

          "The first mages" was originally the name of just the first book then, later on, became the name of the series and the first book got renamed to "Newfound might". Probably will be renamed when I start translating or writing it in English.          With The first mages, when it was still just one book, I learned not to let people's...

A pantser's take on plotting

        Being the usual 'figure out the story as I go' type I never clicked with any plot methods. I tried basic structures, some messy planning I came up with, and the Three act one I didn't even bother with. For the three years, I've been writing (four years anniversary this December) I have given plotting only so many chances. To be honest it probably failed because...

I accidentaly cut a toxic person out of my life

     Here's the backstory.     I am posting my story in Bulgarian on Wattpad (currently not). I had written ahead and asked if people would be interested to read and not wait. Except my best friend two dudes wanted to join so I made a group. Every Sunday I'd send them everything I've written for the past week.     Now what happened to make one of the guys...

Rotten mind

    Furious screams echoed from the first floor. It was calm just a second ago. What changed? Ah, yes. The older sister got home. Poor girl, she never got her rest. Never kept quiet like her younger copy. It's not fair that she gets away just because she never speaks up. And when she does never continues the arguments.    But she...

What I want to change

     Recently I've been feeling oppressed. Not only from what's going on in the world. Huge part is just my personal life. The world's crazyness just puts more weight on.     I no longer love Twitter like I used to, don't even want to open Instagram anymore. Facebook I don't care about at all.     To make things a little lighter for me I put to practice...

How I started hating tomatos

     It started a couple of years ago. I don't know what happened, what influenced me at the time but one day I just didn't feel like eating tomatos. The other day as well, and so on. At some point I just decided that I hate them and that was it.     It had been months since I started hating tomatos and the doubt came along side my family's "You ate tomatos just yesterday!"....

If you feel presured by the community this will help!

          I really want to talk about this cause I don't think it's been said enough.We all go around and read blog posts when we wanna kill some time and feel productive. We read tips, we flap through some more posts and we find ourselves reading the same tips. It's ok, some tips repeat because they work and are helpful.        But!  ...

4 things to expect when writing in a new language

          Since I started writing back in 2016 my main language has been Bulgarian. I had no confidence in my English to start writing stories and to be honest I still don't. I probably wasn't going to try it in the near future but a short talk with a really dear stream to me changed my mind. Or at least got me curious enough to start and see where it goes.  ...

          Short stories are one of the most powerful tools in the hands of a writer. They can be finished for less than a day and vary in lengths.          1. They give you a feeling of accomplishment.         How long have you been writing on that draft but the end doesn't seem to be near? Probably months. It...
