SO revisions are done for now (until I sit too long and start to tinker), and I'm prepping a few beta readers for the revised version in June. Query letter will be there soon enough, but man---whoever invented the synopsis is not my friend right now. #writingcommunity #writesky #amQUEERying

So the question to find the line between low fantasy and high fantasy is clearly "Do they have dragons?" Right? #Writingcommunity #writesky

As a queer writer of queer fiction, sometimes I hate pronouns. There is no pronoun for "he1" and "he2." What pronoun do you use for a nonbinary person possessing an old man when the POV character doesn't know? If he suspects? If he knows, but other characters don't and they're talking? #Writesky

First half revisions put that half at 49,968. Perfect. Now, do I complete the first chapter (few adjustment still happening) or do I start second half revisions. Choices, choices. #writingcommunity #writesky

Donovan began to stretch, “I should let you get some sleep before we lose the fire.” His eyes tracked the path to the not-haunted guest room and he shifted his weight to stand. Jerrik reached out, slow and certain, and set a hand on his thigh. “Don’t,” Jerrik whispered. It was not a question.

Working hard to get this manuscript under 100k with new #RevPit skills and friends. I would be doing a disservice to agents if I let their "this is too long" auto filters bump it without them having the pleasure of meeting these two. Also, new first chapter! #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying

Name your fav fantasy dragon.

Welp. I have now talked to three editors, with three different directions about how I should adjust my first chapter. AND three different starting places. Fun. Guess I have work to do. #writingcommunity #writesky

Oh dear. I feel like I am about to remove a WHOLE CHAPTER, and I don't know how I feel about it. #writingcommunity #writesky

After reworking chapter 1, this midpoint refuses to be in the right place. 2500 words too late. SMH #writingcommunity #writesky

But I don't WANT to kill my darlings!

My current notes for my next chapter read as follows: Chapter 8: ?? Now what? Something about the plot now for gods sakes. That is all, #Writingcommunicty and #writesky.

Hey, #writingcommunity #writesky and #revpit friends Do editors tell you HOW to fix the problems, or just that there are problems?? I KNOW this version is better, but not all the way better perhaps. I think I might need it to be all the way better for a #agenting...

I am so envious of writers who write a first draft and then revise/edit ONCE and are all "my book is done now!" I am on my umpteenth of version 6.3 and just removed 150 words from chapter 12 only to add 80 different ones. And my beta reader will still have issues! #writingcommunity

#CampRevPit brought me too many new CPs & friends to name them all. Beyond that, it let me know that we can write what we feel and love, and there are people out there to appreciate it. Thank you, #CRPSirens, & every other cabin I bothered! This next revision will be better because of you! 🗡📚☕🐾☕📚🗡

#writingcommunity #writesky I am so in my own head right now. I am doing revisions after #RevPit and now #CampRevPit. I think it's going well, but all I can see is how far out my timeline is to get my query back to the people who need to see it. What if no one needs clients anymore in July?

#CampRevPit Working to 'clarify' a few things.

#CampRevPit #RevPit #WritingCommunity #Writesky I wrote a random 500 words for my characters in attempt to capture a "vibe." I did, but now I love it. It doesn't fit in the book. 😔

Film you’ve watched more than 6 times with a gif “Hard mode:“ No Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, Disney or Ghibli

I'm not a #CRPNightcrawlers, I'm a #CRPSirens but... Donovan's greatest fear is becoming his father. Unfortunately, surviving in this word means learning & deploying those exact same tactics. The more monstrous he feels, the more he wants to isolate... So does survival mean losing yourself anyway?

Which villain? Daemon Saturn would say he is working to secure power and legacy despite his ungrateful son. If he can't correct his trajectory soon his tactics will have to become more extreme. But THE villain would say he is watching a spoiled, isolated young man for an opportunity. #CampRevPit

Mission successful! Reader feedback for MC went from "what a dick" & "f*** that dude" to "oh... sadboi" & "fix him!" in just one easy-peasy chapter one rewrite. Thanks for the push in the right direction #RevPit Crew! I appreciate you guys so much!! #writingcommunity #CampRevPit

Another monster to deal with, he welcomed a chance to escape this cage and stretch his legs. Adrenaline was almost a feeling. #CampRevPit

#Writingcommunity #Writesky #amquerying #CampRevPit I have too many ideas in my head but I am not done with the one I am trying to prep for query!! WHAT DO I DO!??!

This has always been my struggle. Between a job that requires writing and academic work I have gone long periods where the ideas only live in my head. I haven't always been able to write them. Now that I can, it is crunched into late evenings. Heck I'm not 'ready' for this... #CRPSirens #CampRevPit

This is exactly where I am - after being sure I was mostly done... #CRPSirens #CampRevPit

Morning #CRPSirens, I'm Reagan. I'm writing a queer thought-he-was-dead second chance romance steeped in necromancy & found family. This WIP, Forged in the After, is book 1 of a trilogy (book 2 is in progress & book 3 is only an outline). I am going to do some cleaning and tightening revisions next.

A swap reader just called my character Jerrik a "red-headed harlot," and I have never wanted to fight an anonymous screen name before in my life. Someone was NOT paying attention to the BOOK! Leave my demi queer introvert ALONE! #writingcommunity #writesky

Hoping my swap partner is patient with my mutating draft! I promise it is NOT a disaster - it is just making some adjustments! #CampRevPit #CRPSirens 🧜

Well, #CampRevPit it is. No idea what that means practically...but I'm doing it!

Welcome @razzzkazzz.bsky.social who is doing a beta read for me, with specific requests. They are doing AMAZING. I plan to be using THEIR draft with notes as the bones for my next one. This project isn't even DONE yet & the notes and communication are stellar! #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying

Okay #writingcommunity! I have revisions and trimming to do and three chapters of plot to unbury. Nothing like #RevPit to point out where you can improve. My characters deserve the best story I can write--that standard has changed over the last 3 weeks! I can do this. I can do this. I can do this!

Every single one of you deserves the win! Whether you get it tomorrow or not, keep going! I have a lot of work to do, and I hope you all are working right there with me. I want to read every book I have seen from this group. You are all so talented & I am so proud to be here with you! #RevPitWaiting

I didn't join #RevPit trying to win, I wanted community. I have been writing on an island, and #RevPit didn't look like that. I am blown away by my gratitude for the friends I have made on this journey. You guys are going to make both the story I am telling AND me better. Thank you! #RevPitWaiting

Watching Artemis II Integrity get ready to come home!

#Revpitwaiting Hey #RevPit editors. I have to warn you, guys. I have a whole trilogy to write... I could be back here with an updated version of the SAME story next year! Think about it... You could save yourselves the trouble and get it over with now 😜

So, I changed things in the end sequence in my last revision and now my first half is dragging. First chapter updated, and getting ready to have to super revise a couple chapters to make the beats stay on track. #writingcommunity #writesky #revpitwaiting

We are supposed to rewrite chapter 1 in the middle of #RevPit, right? Cuz I figured something out, and I have to! #writingcommunity #writesky #revpitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting This is my pencil marker crayon doodle. It isn't quite right, but its the best I got (and I'm lucky it is this decent). It was supposed to be a concept sketch... I have gotten commissions, and some weren't bad, but I have never actually gotten one that captures them right.

Post a perfect movie. 🎥🍿 There are a FEW 10/10 movies, but here is one.

#RevPitWaiting I just deleted "even," "that," "eyes," AND "he felt" from ONE sentence of my new WIP all by myself!

Almost missed my wildcard! One of my early faves from Jerrik's POV #RevPitWaiting

#Writingcommunity - I am editing Forged, so of COURSE I sort out what I need in chapter 6 of Tempered, why not!? I have all the time for that.

#writingcommunity #amquerying #revpit Wish me luck. I have just copied my docs file and retitled it "Manuscript V6." Let's rip 8,000 words out of this fucker before chapter 17 and mess with these dudes' lives a bit, shall we? IDK how I'm gonna do this, but I am!

OMG when your beta reader is AMAZING! x.com/authorkduarte over here just giving me the confidence to tear some shit up! (Figuratively of course, turns out I don't write like ass.) 60 days to complete edits (or do #RevPit ...whichever) before getting to @KT_Carlisle! #writingcommunity #amquerying

Apparently, if my beta comments are any clue, I will have to name my memoir "Typos and Repetition" 😆 #writingcommunity
