In This Essay I Won’t

hello there! i’m a new writeblr joining the community and even though it’s a bit nerve-racking, the whole point of this blog is to push myself, so here goes.

my name is ayla, i’m 21, queer and a creative writing student in london. i typically write ya/na fantasy and romance and i have way too many active projects at the moment. my mother tongue is german so i grew up writing lots in german but when i was about 14 i really fell in love with the english language and i have always written in english since.

i have a habit of procrastinating and not writing when i actually should be. i really want to use this blog to write more, ideally daily, even if it’s just some ramblings about my day. i also want to attempt nanowrimo for the first time ever this year and want to write about my experience and progress. i want to be able to come back to this blog in the future and see how much i’ve grown as a writer and to share my journey.

i will post mainly my writing, moodboards, inspiration and hopefully the odd bit of writing advice (although i’m not sure i feel qualified to give out advice just yet).

i don’t have many writer friends so i’d love to get to know new people! if you’re another writeblr, reblog this and i’ll follow you! i follow from my personal blog @chamilsanya. thanks!

so issac newton was a gay sugar daddy... why wasn’t i aware of this

"Hey so it turns out that the people of earth accidentally did a global experiment to see if every individual could course correct climate change through mass personal change of habits, and it turns out, no! We can't! It was massive corporate activity all along!"

Fuck study aesthetic classism

Fuck I'm so inspired by Grey Academia because I'm pretty salty!! So let's break shit down!

- Favorite stationery can be that pen you found on the ground that works pretty damn well

- Bullet journal with spreads every now and then, mostly handy notetaking paper. Pretty lettering right alongside scratched out modules started in ink. Bujo can mean a dotted notebook, or a piece of blank paper, or the next page in your class notes

- Your desk decor includes unwashed mugs and your electric bill

- You've needed to buy batteries for your fairy lights since you bought them

- Library books. Rented textbooks. Reserve textbooks. Pirated textbooks. Photos of the problem set on your phone.

Hey so this his very important.

I live in Argentina. And it’s not very spreaded across media as much as Australia was and many other places (that don’t get as reblogged and shared and helped) but I really need y’all help. I need all of your support and donations.

There’s a lot of organizations trying to recolect medical supplies for the animals affected and trying to get some adopted or fostering and also rescuing.

We really need your help cause some assholes decided to start burning down the trees and forests in Córdoba mainly but a lot of other provinces too. Córdoba is one of the provinces affected by the fires, more than 3,500 hectares burned and thousands of dead species that cannot escape. Entre Ríos and Santa Fe and Catamarca are other of the provinces affected by these fires and situation caused. The media isn’t showing not even half of it as always.

There’s not a law that protects what’s happening from not occurring and there’s a go fund me to sign a petition to make the law to protect, it would mean the world to Argentina if you can help and sign.

Please share and reblog this and if you can please donate (look up the money currency difference and help) and spread it.

Here I’ll leave the info of all the organizations to donate to while as well too Green Peace is trying to get help. It will mean the world for me and the rest of people that live in Argentina and most importantly animals and nature.
