And, of course, his good luck texts continued. Matt hadn’t missed one yet and Nat wasn’t sure what she’d do, what would happen if one didn’t arrive. #Camprevpit #OneLineMC #CRPSirens

Coffee and music. I like to outline first then handwrite my 1st draft using a purple pen. Then let it stew a bit before typing it. I preferred mornings when I started writing but now I'm more productive later in the day. #CRPSirens #Camprevpit

Hello fellow Sirens. I'm Sara. Originally from MI, I write adult cont. rom. but my current WIP is more new adult and is a strangers-to-friends-to-lovers, found family, sports adjacent MS. From #CRPSirens I hope to form connections w/ other writers and polish my WIP for the querying trenches. #revpit

Use feedback from #revpit and beta readers to polish my sub and start querying. Then work on outlines and 1st drafts for a few other ideas rattling around this old brain rather than refreshing my email for query responses (she lies through her teeth). Overall, just keep swimming. #revpitwaiting

Both. I like the direction and security of a good outline, but once I start writing the first draft, my characters take over and reroute the journey. #revpit #revpitwaiting

Wildcard: How about another snip. One of my favorites where Nat and Matt just can't keep waiting for the other to give them a chance. #revpit #revpitwaiting

Matt after Nat continually rejects him out of fear that he'll resent her and leave like her dad. -'Stubborn Dreams and Bottled Love' #revpit #revpitwaiting

My MCs meeting for breakfast on a first non-date. Who hasn't regretted their breakfast choice when they see what someone else ordered. #revpit #revpitwaiting

I just finished the 1st draft of a fake dating, snowed in romance where the MC attends the wedding of her ex to her cousin. Now I'm working on an outline for an enemy-to-lovers where the MC is a singer hiding in her small hometown after a horrible accident ruins her voice. #revpit #revpitwaiting

I was torn between two, but this one better shows the conflict between the characters and why a relationship can't work...yet. #revpit #revpitwaiting

AITA for repeatedly rejecting my best friend for fear he'll resent me if he gives up his dream of practicing pediatrics in our hometown to honor his deceased childhood friend and follows me as I pursue my dream of playing pro soccer to win my dad's affection? #FiFRevPit #RevPitFiF #WritingCommunity

My female MC would probably bring something healthy and full of protein like salmon or edamame My male MC would probably bring microbrew hazy IPA #FiFRevPit #RevPitFiF #WritingCommunity

Huh. Loving the color and sparkles, but haven't a clue what this is. Anyone have a guess? #FiFRevPit #RevPitFiF #WritingCommunity
