As requested: https://www.writersarchive.com/
The documents contain sensitive themes and topics (e.g., related to death).
Some notes are from my old files, which may include outdated information. Others were made in response to a request. I also included a few references that are still in my queue & drafts.
Choose which tips & notes are most appropriate for your own writing. Some are just quick references. Thus, more research may be needed for your written work.
Updates may be made in irregular intervals for added material and/or corrections.
All PDFs are free. You can pay what you want/can here. There's a very small fee to keep the site up. But please don't feel obligated to, especially if you're in a rough patch at the moment—been there (+ it is the holiday season after all, which I know can be a tough time). Writing has always been a safe space for me, so if these references help you as well, that would be more than enough for me.
Thank you to everyone who had been so encouraging about this little project.
And thank you especially to @beforeyearning for creating the site ily (please follow his blog, he's a very talented writer).

My short story for the wlw anthology GLIMM*R!
Who's your fave non-mage character in DA?
for a character that I like so much I really don’t draw him enough.
stories of platonic love are important to me, and I tend to relate to them more than I would to any kind of romantic relationship… and Varric’s and Hawke’s friendship just. it gets me. it gets me real bad
Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?
Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.
Guy says he's wanted to see a live action version of Princess Mononoke for over twenty years. So, instead of spending time learning to make films and about cinematography and actually creating his own art?
He dumped some money into an AI generator to make a shot for shot remake of the trailer.
Dude decided the best way he could pay tribute to an iconic movie about the importance of the relationship between humanity and nature was to recreate it in a manner that includes no human actors and is an industry that is notoriously demanding devastating amounts of energy in the middle of a fucking climate crisis, this shit is beyond parody.
idk if any friends do glad exercises, but im trying to get back in the habit and made these to motivate myself. sharing for mutual motivation 🩷
Another little something from yours truly- this time we're getting to know your ships 💗 Veilguard themed but again, you could probably use it for any DA ships I'm not the boss of you.
I tried to make this as easy as possible to follow, but I've once again gone overboard, so if anything is confusing please feel free to reach out.
