Ooh, that's something to chew on. People are going to be actively looking for weird, gnarly, unpredictable.

Nothing but respect for Eoin Colfer writing an unapologetically environmentalist children's series in the early aughts. And the environmental themes in Artemis Fowl aren't symbolic or incidental; I was twelve being radicalized about polluted oceans and oil drilling and deforestation. King behavior.

I’m so grateful for my mentor Leah. Her thoughtful & thorough edit truly made my story shine brighter. ✨ ✨ Thank you for your insight, support, and the time you poured into my manuscript. It means everything to me! 🥹 #RevPitClassof25 #writingcommunity #RevPit

#RevPitClassof25 Day 7! A HUGE thank you to my wonderful, diligent editor, @dcmdraper.bsky.social. She offered so many great suggestions while also treating both me and my work with respect, and I can really tell that my manuscript is now on a completely different level. 10/10 would #RevPit again!✨

Working with @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social has been such a gift. She’s competent, curious, and insightful. Everything a writer could want in an editor. Nicole, THANK YOU! I take a lot of comfort walking into this rewrite with your insights at the ready. #RevPit #RevPitClassof25 #writer

A longer version is available on my Instagram (@eggqueenwera). This is my official appreciation post for my RevPit editor (@tiffanygrimes.bsky.social) & RevPit! ขอบคุณมากค่ะ 🙏 thank you so much for your time, insight, and patience! #RevPit #RevPitClassOf25 #writing

#RevPitClassof25 #RevPit #writingcommunity #gargoyles @ashpreads.bsky.social‬

Huge thanks to @raqueledits.bsky.social for all her work on my manuscript throughout #revpit, responding to my endless emails and discussing ideas on long, long meetings. Anyone working with her in the future is lucky, I do have to say. #RevPitClassof25 She kept #TeamDaggerato sharp!

#RevPitCLassof25 Thank @demimschwartz.bsky.social enough? Impossible. Flatline is 1,000% better because of Demi! She: Eagle-eyes areas of low yield Sparks creativity in her encouraging manner Allows my own style to shine (she'd have chosen sparkle here, but she lets me be who I am) Thank you!

It's the last day before the #RevPit showcase opens! I'm a jittery mess, but I know my pages are ready thanks to @fromcarly.bsky.social Thank you so much for believing in my manuscript. It means the world to me, and I am so happy I've gotten the chance to work with you ✨ #RevPitClassof25

#RevPitClassof25 #RevPit and @kelleyeditorial.bsky.social taught me: 🌀how to plot 🏚️getting the stakes right unlocks everything 🍇how to ground a character-driven story 🐊to let it go to darker places your faith in this wild, creepy story has been so encouraging! thank you 💚 showcase tomorrow!! 🐊

Ready for a #revpitteaser and story time? (hint: it’s all about @jenichappelle.bsky.social ) I almost didn’t send MYTH, MUSE, MAGICIAN to #revpit And I almost pulled my submission the night before winners were announced. (1)

#RevPitClassof25 share your writing space (a couple days late)— this is my beloved colourful desk setup, ft helpful writing pals. yes, my plague doctor friend’s little lamp does glow in the dark 💡

#RevPitClassof25 Day 5: What You Learned From #RevPit 📝Edits aren't always as scary as they seem 👀The importance of fresh eyes on your writing cannot be overstated 👯Community really helps with the ups and downs of writing (and the RevPit community is fantastic)

Here's a snippet of my #MG novel, BEYOND THE MOON, for #RevPitClassof25

#RevPitClassof25 #RevPit #writingcommunity #gargoyles

A longer version is available on my Instagram (@eggqueenwera). Thank you to RevPit for hosting & @tiffanygrimes.bsky.social for your insight & support 💜 #RevPit #RevPitClassOf25 #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

One of my #RevPit takeaways is that this novel resonates with readers because of its overlap with my lived experiences. I have no real pictures of my barista tenure, but I found a picture of the tip jar they put out the week I left. 😂🤷‍♀️ #booksky #RevPitClassof25 #writer

What I learned from RevPit: plot needs to plot. #revpitclassof25 Tackling story structure head on has been one of the hardest inward evolutions for me as a writer, but also one of the most worthwhile. Forever thankful for @jenichappelle.bsky.social & #revpit for enduring support in this process📖

#RevPit #RevPitClassof25 #writingcommunity There aren't enough characters allowed on BlueSky to say all of the things I learned from RevPit 😅 The truth is, it's still not done teaching me! ❤️The opportunity to work with an editor is of such an amazing experience. More on that on my post on Sunday!

#RevPitClassof25 4 days till the showcase! today is snippet day: first impressions of the manor house upon arrival 🐊 from my creepy MG 💚

RUIN helped me develop an appreciation for crocodiles, so much so I can't stop watching videos of their precious smiles 🐊. Who says all crocodiles are evil? #RevPit #RevPitClassOf25 #booksky #writing #writingcommunity
