Writeblr (Re)Intro… Again

image

So… hate to be that writer, but I’m redoing my intro! I know I did this only a couple months ago, but how I feel about my WIPs and how I want to present them has changed a bit! So this is just an updated version.

Anyways!!

The name’s Josephine, but feel free to call me Jojo (pronouns are she/her), your local penguin and bird monster enthusiast!Β 

I’m in my early twenties, I’ve a February birthday, I am from the Midwestern United States, and am currently in college getting a degree in Writing and Applied Arts with an emphasis in editing and publishing, as well as a minor in History. I tend to be busy busy busy during semester, so in my free time I like to doodle and write silly little stories.

(NOTE: I will NOT interact with people under 18, BUT you’re still welcomed to follow my blog! Just note that I won’t interact lmao)

My art and writing updates I post a lot on my social media accounts, which are as follows:

Instagram: jojo.penguin.art

Twitter: JojoPenguin_Art

TikTok: jojo.penguin.writes

Discord:Β Jojo the Rad Penguin#3942

Tumblr: my DMs and ask box are always open!πŸ’›

I am ALWAYS down for chatting with and meeting other writers, and engaging with others’ content!! The primary genres I work with are:

- Horror (in varying genres, but primarily Gothic)
- Paranormal
- Monster Romance (I’m aroace as hell, so expect all my romances to be pretty β€˜clean’ - AKA no erotica to be found here!)
- Historical Fiction
- Light Fantasy

If any of these genres interest you, feel free to keep on reading about my WIPs below the cut! Now about my general writing style…

Most of the stories I write are inspired by two things: fairytales and horror. A majority of my WIPs are either directly inspired or loosely based on some fairytale, folklore, or myth, and most are part of some genre of horror, whether it be Gothic, psychological, folk, survival, or supernatural. Also a lot of my writing influence comes from authors like Angela Carter, Sarah Waters, Caitlin Starling, Shirley Jackson, and Robin McKinley.

A list of my WIPs are below the cut!

“When I saw him look at me with lust, I dropped my eyes but, in glancing away from him, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. And I saw myself, suddenly, as he saw me, my pale face, the way the muscles in my neck stuck out like thin wire. I saw how much that cruel necklace became me. And, for the first time in my innocent and confined life, I sensed in myself a potentiality for corruption that took my breath away.”

— Angela Carter, “The Bloody Chamber” (1979)

weirdest part about being an artist (and, to an extent, a writer too) is feeling like. shameful that you aren’t creating massive pieces of art. how dare i not line and color and shade every drawing. how dare i only draw two poses. how dare i only write 1k words. how dare i not write an entire book. how dare i
