She-Who-Fights-And-Writes FAQ + Complete List of Writing Resources
Please refer to this page before sending any asks, please!
I will answer questions about:
- Characters
- Plotting
- POV
- Setting
- Tropes
- Fanfiction
- Genres
- Getting Started
- And more!!!!
I will NOT answer questions about:
- Things that are already on this list
- The publishing/editing industry (primarily because I’m unqualified)
- Children’s fiction and Nonfiction (Same reason as above)
- Hyper-specific details of your WIP; I can’t tell you how to write your own story.
- “Does ____ sound like a good idea?”
- Anything that can be figured out with a quick Google search (i.e. how fast can cheetahs run, how long does it take to get a license, etc.)
- Asking me to reblog your post, give you a shout-out, etc. This blog is just for writing content only and will remain ad-free.
- Asking me to read/edit your story for free. I’m a college student with a very busy life who also has her own writing projects to worry about, and cannot put time aside to edit someone’s work for no cost at all. Refer to my commissions page, please!
- Sorry, but I am quite rigid about these rules!
This is just a compilation of the questions I get a lot or I think I answered pretty well, so if you need anything else feel free to check out my #answering asks tag!
I’ve also included some posts from other blogs/sources as well because I feel as though they can explain it much better than I ever could!

My Book
I’m currently working on a novel titled Wings of Faith, and often post content such as art, aesthetics, and writing updates!
Humans are nothing if not imaginative creatures. They tell tales of being watched over by invisible guardians, of bearing witness to divine messengers descending from the sky in a blaze of fire. Snowy wings, flaming swords, haloes and harps…you know, all the classic bullshit.
“Be not afraid!” they write these creatures saying, since humans like to comfort themselves with the notion that their celestial shepherds are merciful. But mercy, even for such “angels” that are so often painted and prayed about, is a luxury that only those with enough life left in them can afford.
(OR a jaded one-winged angel must team up with a ragtag band of demons to escape from Hell)
My Art Blog
Here’s the blog that I post all of my art on, including Wings of Faith content, art wips, fandom content, and original work! Feel free to check it out here!
