Aspiring author, occasional menace.
Expect writing tips, story seeds, and unhinged late-night thoughts.

Writers are basically professional daydreamers with deadlines.
Welcome to my corner of chaos.

@SDDonovan Maybe we're all suffering from burnout and don't want to admit it (just got over a bit of that myself).

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

I'm at that stage where it's about time I heard back from trad publishers :3. I'm going to get my manuscriot ready for self-publishing while I wait. If I hear back? Cool. If not? Also cool.

I am just so sick and tired of looking at this damn thing ^^. Time to throw it out there!

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@DNicholsAuthor I think it's mostly burnout. Went through a bought of it there too for a few months. Who knows? They might bounce back :3

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@oliviahlawrence @NathanTheAuthor Congrats!

Story Seed:

Magic exists but it's so benign that no one realises it.

Prime example: the last bit of the toothpaste lasts way too long.

If anyone realised it, what kind of journey would they undergo?

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

My brain has deserted me 😂

Writing, posting, thinking of new worlds and ideas...

These are things I have not done in a hot minute.

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@therutholarrie @DNicholsAuthor This is hard advice to follow 😂

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@Linfootwrites 😂 I think it's okay to take a break now and then.

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

Happy St. Patrick's Day. 🍀🥳🎊

Hope you all have a good one. Just don't pinch too hard 🤨

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

Everything is in the way today. From glitches, to declined cards, to tempermental appliances, to guests.

I can't write like this 😅

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

Mkay so here's a story idea:

A person learns to control time and time jumps to different eras, but the more people that learn to do this, the more the fabric of time breaks.

Cities popping in and out of existance. People not sure 'when' they are. It's a mess. What happens next?

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@NadiaMayNashi I am 😌 and because I'm super shy 😅

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@Linfootwrites And failed spectacularly 😂

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@EllieJayWrites Mhm. Perfectionism is a killer.

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@her_eloquence It's a conspiracy at this point 😂

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

Ah... it's that time of year where life decides you don't get to focus on your book anymore.

The fever was fun while it lasted.

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

I had a sit-down with myself yesterday and decided that I'm okay with my book not doing 'well'.

I just need to get it out of my head.

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

@Linfootwrites Feels so much better, doesn't it?

[Meledi Dirths @MelediDirths]

Yep. I gave in. We are rewriting my book from scratch.
