There are few things more enjoyable than a piping hot cup of tea when you sit down to edit. #writingcommunity #writers

Some days, writing just one sentence is a win. #AmWriting #WriteSky

Every time I listen to Noah Kahan, I wish I could write with music playing in the background.

It turns out I much prefer editing on paper. Let's see how many pens I use for draft four. #writingcommunity #writers

"Arwin might not have a knack for raising the dead, but he was a master at transformation spells and ardently believed the gloom underscored the family’s reputation as powerful necromancers." The Arcana patriarch, the great weather manipulator! #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

1.) The mayor is a mermaid even though the village is landlocked. 2.) There is nothing trolls love more than making a bet. Be careful what you wager. 3.) The Great Magical Brew Off has had the same judges for the past three centuries. #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

Happy Monday everyone! I would cast Timothee Chalamet (with longer hair) as Leo. He's who I had in mind when visualizing the character when I first created the world!

This is me! I read through every draft out loud and scribble notes or highlight passages without explanation so I have to later discern their meaning. But usually I come out with a revision plan at the end of the process. #crpsparkleskunks #camprevpit

“You two obviously still have feelings for one another.” “Yes, hate.” ❤️‍🔥 #DialogueDrop #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

Today's Ember of Excellence goes to @knturner-author.bsky.social from Cabin #CRPSparkleSkunks! Kimberly has been writing up a storm AND connecting with other campers! Fantastic job getting into the camping spirit. That's what #CampRevPit is all about! 🥳🏕️

Arwin sees Leo's entry into the Great Magical Brew-Off as a necessary evil. It's a last-ditch effort to find enough gold so his son can fund his necromancy studies. If only Leo can keep his eyes on the prize and off the village apothecarist. #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

“You sound pained but there’s no knife to your throat forcing the words.” She narrowed her eyes, and he took the opportunity of her irritation to relieve her of her burden. “Arcana!” “Is my last name and I much prefer my first.” Not one line, but I couldn't help myself!! #CampRevPit #OneLineMC

My antagonist doesn't want to be a villain nor does he consider himself one. He's just willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his son restores their family legacy. If it takes bribery to do it, well then... 😇 #CRPSparkleSkunks

I'm letting my potion simmer, adding in the occasional eye of newt and bat wing until it's just right. ✨ #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

🌼 I'm Kim! I'm a recovering academic with a black cat whose sole hobby seems to be sitting beneath my chair and silently judging me. I usually drink green tea while I'm writing, though I'm a big fan of Topo Chico as well. 🌼 V.E. Schwab and Ali Hazelwood are my favorite authors! #CRPSparkleSkunks

I'm Kim 🌸 I write fantasy romance, usually of the cozy variety.🪄 I'm currently editing a small town, second-chance romance about two exes competing in their local potion brewing competition! I'm delighted to be here and can't wait to make some new writer friends! #CampRevPit #CRPSparkleSkunks

Best of luck to all those who submitted to #RevPit!! ♥️ Be proud of yourself for doing a hard thing. That's an accomplishment in and of itself.

In honor of the Oscars this weekend, I went to the Academy museum yesterday and picked up the screenplay for Frankenstein. 🧟‍♂️ My collection of Frankenstein editions grows!

I might be one of the rare few but I love when it rains in LA. It makes me want to curl up with a book and a cup of tea. 💚

Friendly reminder to all my writing pals to back up your projects! I had a dream/nightmare last night where I opened my #WIP to find that Scrivener deleted 29/33 chapters. 🙃

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

This year was a big one for me. I found the courage to query my first novel and started writing my second. As I plow through draft three edits, I can't help but wonder what 2026 will bring. 💚 #writingcommunity #writers

And that's the second draft done and dusted! 💃 #writingcommunity #writers #amediting

Thank you to @ashpreads.bsky.social for the feedback on my #10Queries entry. 💜 I'm very excited to dive back into my opening pages! #RevPit

It's #10Queries day! Thank you to all the editors for their feedback. I'm excited (and nervous) to dive in to the advice and try to guess which is mine 💜 #RevPit

My entry was selected for #10Queries! I'm a bundle of nerves and excitement. What a great bit of news for the weekend! 💜 Cheers #RevPit! And thanks in advance to the editor providing feedback 💚

I had an excellent editing day where something just clicked. I knew I needed a different ending for a chapter but wasn't sure what it should be. But I think I just found it? 💃 #writingcommunity #amediting

I didn't meet my September goal. But that's okay! I spent a lot of the month examining and breaking down the end of Act 2 and Act 3. So we're pushing that soft goal of finishing draft 2 to October and see how I get on. #writingcommunity #amediting

My (very soft) September goal is to finish draft two. We'll see how I get on. I'm in the midst of reading through the changes I've made so far for chapters 1-15! #writingcommunity #writers

Now that August is coming to an end, I can say this was an excellent editing month. I'm roughly two thirds of the way through draft two! 🪄 Writing my second book is going much faster than writing the first. #writingcommunity #writing #amwriting
