The first time the earth tried to kill me was in The Attrition. It was the grass. Winding around my ankles. Snaking up to my knees. Locking me in place. I think about it often now. How much they lied to us. How I can’t tell what was real anymore. 🌿🗡

hot take (maybe 🤷♀️):
i don’t believe that you need a degree in english or in writing to be a writer/author! if you have one, that’s great! But i definitely don’t think it’s necessary

I SENT AN EMAIL QUERY AT 9:30 LAST NIGHT WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
I literally sent it off without any regard to the time and then 5 minutes later i was like “oh no what have I done” 💀
In a competition where not only graduates kill each other to win but so will the sentient earth, Tabitha’s survival relies on her rival to secure her place as a soldier. The more she explores the deadly flora, the more the lies of her life (and her feelings) unravel

Authors, convince us to read your book with one of your favorite lines & absolutely no context:
from my ya dystopian 🌿
“And that doesn't scare you?” He asked. “Becoming the thing we want to destroy?”
“If that's what it takes?” I inquired, holding his intent gaze. “Then, no.”
Authors, convince us to read your 📕 with one of your favorite lines & absolutely no context:
DJ laughs and Jadesola pocketed the moment. “Why do you keep calling me different nicknames?”
He shrugged. “Because I have scoured every database I could find & they all fit you.”
Coveting her brother's throne is certainly a sin, but after Zaina challenges him to a death match for the throne, dragging her younger siblings into the contest, she must dabble in far worse sins to achieve her goal

I’ve said this before and i’ll say it again:
WRITERS, this is what we aren’t going to do!!
If you cannot come up with an idea or are struggling, please DO NOT steal from other authors who have worked hard on their stories.
be kind to your fellow writers 🫶🏻
hi everyone, in light of recent info, we want to make it clear that
#questpit
does not condone stealing ideas and we are so sorry that our safe, uplifting event turned into any potential harm. please only post what you are comfortable with during these events
AITA for not wanting the throne, but when finding out my brother (who is the rightful heir) is alive, I initiated a death match between me and my siblings. Because if i can’t have the throne, no one can…um AITA or NTA??
