Today's #RevPitWaiting is the Crit Partner shout out! 4 lovely friends have been there for me through the years. The insightful (& deservedly-agented) @zillawrites.bsky.social who saw me through covid & my first ever real edit 💜 Her love of atmosphere & deep POV developed my writing by bounds!

Today's the day, #WritingCommunity

noting this one down!

#RevPitWaiting I'm not a moodboard maker, but I took a shot at these for my two primary WIPs. THE MENAGERIE (YA F) - Fablehaven meets Lockwood & Co meets The Darkest Minds! WAY DOWN (NA F) - Dishonored meets Arcane meets Six of Crows!

There's so many authors I owe everything to. Reading was my lifeline. I read and re-read books so often that I actually had them taken from me and locked up. #RevPitWaiting John Flanagan Rick Riordan Brandon Mull Diana Wynne Jones Michael Scott Jonathan Stroud Cinda W. Chima Suzanne Collins

I have 3 excellent cats! They love each other, they fight each other. They are my perfect babies. One has absolutely made her mark in my MS by walking across the keyboard... #revpitwaiting

I went to look up what time the No Kings protests in Boston started and this map made me happy.

I have a sprawling 3hr playlist, all about the vibes - but I also have a refined 1h11 one, too. open.spotify.com/playlist/3d4... But the main song, is absolutely hunter by Paris Paloma: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnkf... #RevPitWaiting

I remember a few years ago, I submitted to Jeni, and got a really kind couple of sentences feedback. She was extremely helpful in pointing out that my vision wasn't super coherent, and as a result I would struggle in making the project's marketability work. Hard words to hear, but SO necessary!

Happy book b-day to my critique partner Samantha Clair! It's live! So amazing to see her hard work come to fruition. ✨AND it's free on Kindle Unlimited! Check it out! ✨ www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #amreading #readersky #writersky

Wicked... I was 7... Also, I accidentally read a Pride and Prejudice sequel with some really uhhhhh explicit scenes when I was 9. Oops.

Nona is THE favorite book I think I've ever read. It's one of the few books I have multiple shirts & merch for, and it radically shifted my entire worldview. But so many other books shaped me--along the top are the books that I OBSESSED over. #RevPitWaiting #amreading #thelockedtomb

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

#RevPitWaiting #favquote picking a favorite is so hard! Especially with dual POV. They have very different voices, and very different outlooks on not only life, but the conflict as a whole.

in exciting news, I have discovered that —? —! and —" all count as their own word in MS Word but not in Wavemaker. Let the discoveries continue!

Do you like ⛰️ quests, ⚔️ battles,💜 found family, & 🌌 multiverses? Features #F tropes turned on their heads, including: 🚶excessive amounts of walking 🏛️a fraught council meeting 🧝token elves and dwarves (hobbits not included) How about a sci-fi POV thrown into the mix? #RevPitWaiting #moodboard

Meet Letyf! He's an elf with terrible anxiety, so a world-saving quest is honestly the last place he should be. And then there's Lia. A jaded, multiversal merc, Lia's whole thing is quests. Unfortunately, she's on the opposite side as Letyf, so... he's probably screwed. #revpitwaiting #dualpov

While I'm #RevPitWaiting Web Traveler is THE MAGICIANS x DND After years in the trunk, we're back in edits! 🌳 an elf with anxiety (and no magic) 🌌 a woman from across the multiverse (with way too much magic) 🧝‍♂️ an elf-supremacist hellbent on vengeance ⚔️ and a quest to save the world #A #Fantasy

1 week until my #writingfriend Samantha Clair releases her #debutnovel, Amber in the Hilt! ---- His mother was murdered. His father, a traitor. His son, a criminal. And he may be the most powerful wielder on the continent—at least according to the whispering dead. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Just finished Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang - wow! definitely a 5-star read for me. This is the kind of quasi-dark-academia that really makes me lose my mind! #amreading #readersky

Well, 30 minutes after submitting my MS, I don't know what to do with myself. #revpit #revpitwaiting #writersky #amquerying #waitingisntmyforte

There is nothing quite like opening your MS in three different word processors and seeing 3 very disparate word counts... Am I at 134k, 136k, 137.5k, or 138k? It's a mystery we will only solve if I commit to counting my MS, word by word. Sorry #RevPit editors! I hope you use the same one I do...

Lia just arrived in her master's backwoods, fantasy homeworld. She is immediately unimpressed by his master plan to conquer it. #amquerying #revpit #writersky
