Reblog if you love to write.

Whether it be fanfiction, original stories, drabbles, songs, poems, books, or anything that has to do with creative words, then reblog. Let’s gather all the writers of Tumblr together.

My only caveat is that the only truly creative word-smiths are people who literally invent languages, dialects or slang. i.e. Tolkien, Mark Rosenfelder, Russel Hoban…

Writers merely put them together in interesting ways. (not that there’s anything ‘merely’ about doing so!)

I count myself an amateur among the latter, and before I got a girlfriend/life I used to dabble in the former. (ah those were the days!)
