Every original song from this movie is a BANGER and I watch it unironically at least once a year

TW: Blood Late to the party but here it is! #Questpit #A #F #W Querying in the next few months. BLOODLETTING has: 🩸A blood magic system inspired by my history with self harm 🩸An estranged, angsty brother-sister relationship 🩸An enemies to lovers subplot (the knife-to-the-throat kind)

#CRPCabinRaids Love this prompt! My 3 MCs originated from different class playthroughs on Star Wars: The Old Republic (Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Imperial Agent). I’d love to return them to their origin!

I’ve been sick the first few days of camp and am behind on a lot of things, but I’m feeling better and am excited to participate more! Fancasts are fun! My MC goes through a “shy sad girl vibes” to “feminine rage” transformation that I think Anya Taylor-Joy could pull off so well! #CRPFantasyFoxes

Wow you created an entire Claude “skill sheet” of your “voice”? Why not use the free one that lives inside your brain

#CampRevPit Thread! I’m Holly and I’m excited to be a member of the #CRPFantasyFoxes 🤗 I’m currently revising (trimming words 😭) from BLOODLETTING🩸an adult fantasy novel with a magic system that draws on my own history with self harm. I’m excited to get to know everyone!

Excited to learn that this was mine! I've always felt 💫💫 about my pages and 😭😭 about my query, so this feedback is so appreciated!

I just finished my first year as a First Reader for #RevPit! Two years ago I was on the other side. Entering, not getting shortlisted, not getting in. And again in 2025. Two times a "loser". Here's what I want every writer who didn't get in to know: 🧵

A new generation of poets rises, inspired by the same springtime that roused Dickinson and Shakespeare. A torch, passed.

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

A very good Elias line 🥲 for my #RevPit submission

The degree to which I'm willing and able to embarrass myself cannot be overstated

🥰🥰There’s a reference to this line in my #RevPit submission

failing is hot girl behaviour 🫵🏻💥

I'm trying to engage more and be less of lurker so below is my #RevPitWaiting thread~

While we're all waiting for results of the contest, let's play! Fill out this form for your novel's title to potentially throw down! The form will be open till end of day Tuesday. (This is just for fun. Winner gets bragging rights.) forms.gle/QcoBAePTgXLJ... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

How I felt after finishing my #RevPit submission

Clicking “Submit” on my #RevPit entry with 4 minutes until the deadline and it asks me to verify that I’m human by selecting photos of traffic lights

No one panic, but it’s time! The sub window for #RevPit is open now! Enter to win a developmental edit from one of our great editors. Even if you don’t win, we have lots of fun and you can learn so much about writing and editing. #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor #BookCommunity

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

Anyways.

Tragically not ready for #unhingedpit, but working hard to be submission-ready for #revpit next month! Loving all the creative pitches!

Trans people protect your peace! Stop doomscrolling, block transphobes, and take a deep breath. I am not going to sugar coat it: things fucking suck right now. But make sure you realize that you are not alone and in the end love will overcome hate.

There is no better time to work on your passion project because clearly nothing matters anymore

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist
