KAOS x WITCHER “Your first mistake was thinking people like you and I were born to do anything but burn.” No one expected the orphans raised as Holy War cannon fodder to survive the war meant to end magic, least of all win. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. #questpit

My slipstream love story set in a night at a club that never ends is available now at @KhoreoMag! It’s about memory, music, & the feeling of being lost on a dance floor chasing something you can almost remember. This was a hard/personal story to write that I love. Check it out!
"This Is What You Came For" by @pqwrites is LIVE! This story was edited by @_aleksandrahill. The audio edition was narrated by @froudewithanE and produced by @lianxiarose. Listen to it or read it now on our website: khoreomag.com/fiction/this-i…

Instead of write what you know, write how you feel. Instead of follow trends, follow your heart. Instead of seek fame, seek readers who need your words. Instead of be self-critical, be your biggest fan. Instead of give up, give it your all. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

the real reason why writing is so hard is bc you have to type with one hand and choke out imposter syndrome with the other
