Don’t you just hate it when a book is both; soo good that you can’t wait to see what happens, and; so good that you don’t want it to be over? Anyway… *wriggles butt back down into chair to finish said book*

Inside me are two wolves: one who makes plans with friends for later in the month because two weeks from now seems so far away it might as well not even exist, and one who immediately tries to figure out how to cancel those plans because he’s already too pre-exhausted

Things have been crazy for me the past couple weeks so I missed a lil bit of #camprevpit. I also haven’t read my feedback from my buddies on my first five pages… not because I’ve been too busy but because I’ve been too anxious 😅 My buddies are so lovely but I’m still anxious 🤣

When I was getting my yearbook signed in 6th year in High School (senior year) I asked my English teacher to sign it. She was my favourite teacher (shocking, I know) We studied Romeo and Juliet and she asked my favourite quote, so that she could write that in… (1/2)

I don’t know if I’m just “at a certain age” or what, but I struggle to understand Discord… which sucks because I can see that so many lovely writers are using it but I just can’t figure it out 😮‍💨 (more tech savvy people than me might wonder what there is to figure out 🤣)

I got to DM for two first time players of D&D this weekend. They had never played before but wanted to after seeing Stranger Things. Nerve-wracking as that’s a high bar and they’re not going to be doing all the cool stuff that experienced players are. But they enjoyed it and will play again - yay!!

I’m definitely a pantser. Before I start writing, I have an idea of what I’m going to write and may even write it down but then when I start to write, it somehow goes in a completely different direction 🤣

I’ve played D&D for the past three days in a row, it’s like a dream come true 😍 … I get the feeling that only the people who play D&D and have felt the sting of the BBEG “scheduling conflicts” will know what I’m talking about 🤣

Since I put forward my MG Fantasy for #revpit I have a couple of Rick Riordan’s novels to catch up on! Apart from those, I’m looking forward today tackling Onyx Storm (I didn’t want to start reading until she was working on the sequel 😂)

I could list so many authors here. If I enjoy their book, I love them! Meg Cabot’s style influenced the way I wrote my 3 YA books, so she is up there. I’d read a shopping list if SJM wrote it. Milly Johnson is a new love as I just feel like her books are a warm hug. Jenny Nimmo, Rick Riordan…

The group meet a mysterious…ally? #MG #Fantasy

A sweet moment between Miles and his dad 🥰

After an altercation with a sea monster, discontent brews in the group.

I don’t have a theme song or playlist for my book, but since I imagine my Miles falling into a JRPG specifically, I think the music from Dragon Quest would work 😂

This adventuring party are the best of friends 🤪 The Dark Curse - MG Fantasy #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

The Dark Curse MG Fantasy I’m not that great at moodboards, but I gave it a shot!

Miles has just gone “into” his video game for the first time, and is still taking it all in. The Dark Curse, MG Fantasy.

Not once, but twice!

My #RevPit book is a MG Fantasy, where a grieving teenager falls into the world of his favourite video game. There’s action, adventure, magic, friendship, betrayal, love, loss, and lots of fun for Miles and his companions. Dungeons and Dragons with your friends vibes (dragon included).

I’m seeing in the #RevPitWaiting posts that there are several D&D players in the #writingcommunity ! I’m curious - are you all forever DMs like me, or do you actually get to play? If so, tell me about your character 😍

I’m Nikki, beyond books, I love Dungeons and Dragons, as well as other board games, and would play all day if I could! 🎲 No pets, but around 40 houseplants that get spoken to and tended to like they are 😂

Just submitted my form for #RevPit with only about 12 minutes to spare 😮‍💨 Good luck to all who enter!

I put a bird feeder in my garden last weekend and it had its first visitors today 🥹 I also learned that they won’t have used it before now because it takes them so long to trust new things in their environment 😭 clever birdies.

Diving into the querying trenches again, wish my luck! 🤿

I just went to the bathroom to powder my nose, and I looked in the mirror and said, ‘Ethel, you’ve been here for nearly forty years and they couldn’t even get you vol-au-vents for your retirement party, why did you waste all of that time?’ I love this from my current WIP 😅

You know you’re an adult when your group chat consists of discussions about the wind and if you should take in your wheelybin in case the recycling blows down the street 😂🙈

My #smallpitch pitches. Very colourful! Best of luck to everyone who pitches 😊

Ooh #smallpitch is right! 400 characters or fewer? I can barely manage a tweet because it’s so few characters 😂 Still, one down and one to go! Wishing everyone who is participating all the best 😊

Writer friends - If an agent passes on your query, do you respond to them to say thanks for your consideration, or just a general reply because it’s polite? Or do you figure that they get enough emails so just don’t do anything with it? My politeness is at war with itself 😂

Am I the only one guilty of not reading for days, then picking up a book one night and reading until stupid o clock in the morning? Oh well, no regrets. 😁

To everyone reading this: I hope that you manage to find a spark of joy this holiday season, and that you are able to forget the crazy of the world and enjoy your little pocket of it, if only for a day or two ❤️

Anyone else start of November Writing Month so well and then… life got in the way? I was at my 25k halfway through the month and thought I was doing really well, but now I’m not even at 35k 🙃

It’s 11/11. Im manifesting good things 🕯️

How long do you have to be using blue sky 🦋 before you stop singing “Mr Blue Sky” every time you get a notification or open the app? Asking for a friend… 🤣

I really enjoyed #questpit yesterday, the #WritingCommunity here is fantastic and I hope everyone gets lots of agent likes and full requests because I want to read all of the books that I read pitches for 😂

Me last night every time I heard some fireworks 😂
