Q for those of you who’ve read the #Outlander 📖series: how much of a commitment is it, as in, is it still a satisfying read if you only read the 1st book (or 1st few)? #booksky #amreading

every headline about pedro pascal only makes him hotter and more attractive actually

Now I’m embracing them as an opportunity to rest, reset my brain, take in all the amazing feedback I got from #RevPit and my fellow CCs, and begin daydreaming about my next book… before heading to the query trenches again 🤞 #writesky #writingcommunity

Between #amquerying the novel and participating in #RevPit I’ve been in the biggest writing slump ever (500 words written (on a new book project) in a month!) Such ‘fallow periods’ happen to me at the end of every meaningful project. They used to scare tf out of me.

I didn’t win #RevPit, but getting an email from @jenichappelle.bsky.social telling me to expect feedback absolutely made my WEEK. I’m so glad I participated and got to know such lovely and generous humans (authors and editors alike)!

Congratulations to the winners and runners-up!! Though I didn’t win, I had so much fun participating this year. Huge thanks again to all the #RevPit editors who brought this event to life! And fellow non-winners… keep writing 💪♥️

So many people dream of writing a novel and never do. YOU wrote a whole novel. Drafted, rewrote, edited, revised, and were brave enough to share it with others. No matter what happens tomorrow, you should all be so proud of yourselves! 💪

All the #RevPit editors are available to hire + for some of us, editing is our day job. If you enjoyed + got useful info from this event, the best way to help/thank us is to recommend us to authors looking for an editor. Most of my new clients come to me by word-of-mouth, so it really does help! 🥰

I have a nosy question for the #RevPit editors (apologies if it’s been asked before) ☝️ We got #RevPies of genres, ages, & now I’m curious about base sizes! On average, how many subs does a RevPit editor get? 👀 #revpitwaiting #revpitteaser #revpitteasers

ICYMI: Join the RevPit writers discord for community and of course chaos!! discord.gg/9SyEgAQW Thanks again @racquelk.bsky.social for creating it 💛

Tip Time! I’m seeing a lot of long query letters. I suggest trimming your QL down to 300-350 words. I know, I know, it’s hard, but tighter query letters can give you bonus points when pitching agents. #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitTeaser

For those who like pie, here’s the % of age group and genres from submissions this year! #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

I’m a *vibes* writer first and foremost - every one of my stories started with The Vibes. When it comes to actually sitting down and writing, I’m a situation/inciting incident-first kind of writer. The characters’ details and plot points stem from that! #pretendpanel #writesky #writingcommunity

#revpit crew! I made a thing!

Hey #writesky, how do you find the motivation/time/energy to create & post writer content on your websites/blogs? I’m trying to start a #substack but not sure where to start or how much time to devote to it! #writingcommunity

I installed new Windows updates and they didn’t completely fuck up my laptop!! Hurray!!!

For 500 years people have been coming up with technology after technology to replace, alter or disrupt books and they have all failed because business geniuses are somehow incapable of understanding that people really like reading

Sometimes I read a really fantastic, skilled, voice-y debut & I wonder if it’s the author’s first ever attempt to write a book or if they have like, six failed attempts to get published under their belt.

I think it would be very cool (& motivating for aspiring authors) if author bios stated how many years/books those authors wrote before they got to publish their debut. #writingthoughts #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky

Got another form rejection today… I need a hug 😭 Those of you who’ve been in the query trenches multiple times, how did you deal w/ that special kind of heartbreak? #writesky #writingcommunity #amquerying #mentalhealth
