🕊️A LIGHT THAT BINDS love interest mood boards 👀👀 yes they have the same last name. What of it?! Nico & Markos - brothers with only one thing in common (….my FMC) King’s Landing meets Arcane in my #A #Q #F #ProfilePit

🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS character profiles for #ProfilePit King’s Landing meets Arcane in my #A #Q #F My MCs and their BFFs 👯‍♀️ Elara X Sorin (besties with history 👀) Adrian X Cora (reluctant friends 🥊)

Such an awesome opportunity for MENA/SWANA authors!! :) Goodluck!

For my #RevPit submission, I had a dream and a blank document. I wrote it once, threw it away, and then plotted everything out and re-wrote it. My current WIP? I’m operating off my deranged, illegible scribblings. I have a vibe, a name, and an ending scrawled on the back of a napkin. #RevPitWaiting

All I’ll say is I have drafts in my inbox that I’m not allowed to show anyone rn 🤐🤐🤐 #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

I totally missed this but my set up is very boring (chair - uncomfortable, preferably, to remind me I’m alive. Desk/dining table, you get the idea). But I do have one very strict requirement, without which my brain cannot function! #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

Sibling collages for 🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS! Whether it’s chosen, lost, or broken—family is a huge theme in my story. 🖤 Nico X Markos 🖤 Adrian X Quinn #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

And another one!! My sheltered baby boy Adrian being the rose, of course, and Elara, my scrappy pickpocket being the dandelion 🙂‍↕️ #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

Another one for my diabolically problematic (but lovable) MMC Adrian #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

Everything my spoiled, privileged, sardonic MMC Adrian says is funny (at least…to me 😭) Context: when you abandon all propriety and confront someone cuz you are a ride or die for your friends!!

ANOTHER CP shoutout to @rhywrites.bsky.social who is reading the first draft of my sci-fi project (bless anyone brave enough to read my first drafts) her perspective has been INVALUABLE!! And her vibes are IMMACULATE!! 🫶🏻🥰 #RevPitWaiting

The Critique Partner 🐐 @jscanwrites.bsky.social has made me a better writer in every way and the world NEEDS to read her amazing work. The biggest of shoutouts to her during #RevPitWaiting I’m so lucky to have her in my life as a writing inspiration and as a friend! 🖤😤

Me trying to piece together the #10Queries clues from #RevPit while I’m #RevPitWaiting to figure out which ones are mine 😭😭

What would you do to protect the only family you have left? Elara Seraphin’s answer is easy: anything. Including selling out a child to the Regime with the same Talent she herself is hiding. King’s Landing meets Arcane in my adult, epic, romantic fantasy A LIGHT THAT BINDS 🕊️🏛️ #amquerying

About 2/3 through drafting a sci-fi, cyberpunk romance!! 🌃🖤 Think Blade Runner 2049 meets Her! As per usual, I have a collage 🙂‍↕️ #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

What is everyone’s favourite self care practice while we’re #RevPitWaiting? I’ve recently gotten BIG into *real* butter. The salted kind. Safe to say that’s improved my quality of life lately 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ #RevPit #WritersOfBluesky

Sheesh that’s tough! Here’s my list: - RF Kuang, the master of magic systems - ML Wang, dang that world feels big - Madeline Miller, ouch my heart - Susanna Clarke, confused but happy - Daphne D M, THAT’S a sentence - JRR Tolkien, the beginning of it all In summary: 🐉🤺🐷🏛️🌺💍 #revpitwaiting #revpit

Meet Honey, my child. #revpitwaiting #revpit

I’ve literally been WAITING for this 😭😭 I exclusively listened to ROSALÌA’s album LUX while writing ALTB and trained myself like a Pavlovian dog to get in the mood to write! And because I’m insane, I gave each character a song Oh, and I can now speak 13 languages (jk, I wish) #revpitwaiting

I have no clue how to narrow this list down so here’s a bunch: The Sword of Kaigen by ML Wang 🌊 Babel by RF Kuang 🎓 Circe by Madeline Miller 🐷 In Memoriam by Alice Winn 💔 Beloved by Toni Morrison 🏠 And my fave this year, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier! #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

I couldn’t pick 😫 🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS quotes! 👯‍♀️ 💕 Friendship! 🏔️ ⛵️ Setting! #revpitwaiting #revpit #writersofbluesky

What lengths would you go to for love? Wren Kerrigan thinks she’d go pretty far, but when her search leads to a forest of curses, soul ties, and eternal winter, she is forced to draw her line in the snow or risk becoming the monster she fears. #amquerying my New Adult Fantasy Romance, GOLDSPINNER

🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS vibes! King’s Landing 🏛️ 🌞 X Arcane ✨⚡️ I do love a Pinterest collage but I cannot say I’m particularly good at them! #revpitwaiting #revpit

When you write an emotionally devastating scene, do you also sob? 😭 Proof that I (have a humiliation kink?) do: #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #revpit

🕊️ A LIGHT THAT BINDS is dual-POV Elara: 26, loner, pickpocket, rock climber, trying her best, could beat you in a race, has a cat named Pino, may have other Talents ✨ Adrian: 20, spoiled, art nerd, obsessed with his roommate (🏳️‍🌈), sardonic af, HATES pulp in his orange juice 🍊 #revpitwaiting #revpit

Elara: grappling with divine power & joining a rebellion. Adrian: grappling with a crush & having to wake up early. 🕊️A LIGHT THAT BINDS is an adult epic fantasy with: 🗡️ a (doomed) heist ⛰️ rock climbing ✨ stolen magic 🔥 slooooow burn 🏛️ political drama 🐈‍⬛ a cat #revpitwaiting #revpit

Sent a query at 8AM, got the rejection at 12PM. What is something you do after receiving a rejection to cheer yourself up?? I’m writing them all down 🙃 #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #querytrenches

I was brave and sent a query just now. At this rate I’ll have queried 5 agents in…. A whole calendar year. My courage takes time to recharge 😌 #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

It’s important to do lots of research when you’re writing a book. Which is why I read Unhinged and Forked, the inanimate object romances. Am I writing an inanimate object romance? No 😌 Follow for more insights. #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

Hey 🤪 I’m Emily E. Gordon, aspiring author ✍🏼 (emphasis on the aspiring) I write fantasy, sci fi, romance, and more! I’m from Ottawa, Canada (I know what you’re thinking - you mean THE Ottawa from Heated Rivalry? Yes 😌) I love weight lifting 🏋🏼‍♀️ yapping 🤠 ROSALÍA 💃🏻 sunshine 🌞 goofing around 👹

The best part about editing? Nothing. Follow for more writing wisdom 😌 #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

How do the people feel about using comps to TV, movies, and music their query letter?? 🎬🎶 In addition to great book comps! As a consumer of all mediums, I LOVE using them if they're reasonably well known enough to make sense. Curious what agents think! #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

I’ve decided BlueSky will be where I am my most professional self 😇 no funny business 🙅🏼‍♀️ no joking around 🙅🏼‍♀️ no heated rivalry references 🙅🏼‍♀️ Serious writer content only 😤 #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

Writing a logline is so hard!! Here’s the formula I use: When [inciting event happens], a main character must [take action in some way], facing [stakes]. Already used it to submit to #RevPit so positive feedback only 😭 #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

New to BlueSky and looking to connect with other writers! I just submitted my epic fantasy ms to #RevPit and I’m trying not to spiral 😬 #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky
