I recently started baking sourdough, which means I have an additional "family member's" schedule to track. IYKYK. I see why bakers name their starter now. #sourdough

#CampRevPit #CRPWizardWasps My villain was so helpful and actually pitched my book once upon a time.

"Anything can be broken." #CampRevPit #CampWizardWasps

#CRPWizardWasps Sam is an army private who befriends Mia after she's exiled. I love that he guides her through the brutal training years at the military academy. She loves that he helps turn her selfishness into selflessness.

#CRPWizardWasps #CampRevPit Practice sprint letter from my MC to her love interest:

Hi #CRPWizardWasps I'm Michelle. I write sci-fi and fantasy. I'll be revising my first 50 of the MS I've been querying and polishing my query and synopsis before hitting the trenches again. My story is about an exiled highflier who must outsmart an army to return home to the boy she loves.

A sneak peek at next week's #CampRevPit prompts! Bookmark this post for future reference, campers! Feel free to jump into just one prompt or dive into them all—whatever fits your energy and goals. No pressure at all. We're here, cheering you on every step! 💛

Mia trades golden luxury for a soldier's stripes to find a coup she is falsely connected to before perpetrators assassinate Earth's Prime Minister and unleash global war, displacing her from her former life and the boy she loves forever. #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #A #SF

After recieving emails from all three of my #revpit editors. I am blown away by the fact that my MS 'The Unsainted' was not only considered but made a short list and a long list! It's not an official win but still a WIN in my books ❤️❤️❤️

So excited @jessawrites.bsky.social snagged a runner up spot! Go Jessa, go! Great choice, @joelbrigham.bsky.social 👏 #RevPit

Thank you to all the #RevPit editors. As 10Queries came out, we all knew your job would be tough. Thanks for all the writing advice you've given out along the way.

Congratulations to all this year's #RevPit winners and runner ups! I can't wait to see your updated materials and cheer you on in your journey!

Thanks to @racquelk.bsky.social for making the waiting period so fun! She made a discord that I still don't know how to use but I'm trying haha. We message about which queries could be ours and chat writing and life. Special shoutout to @jessawrites.bsky.social, another CP and new friend!

This comp finder database has become my new bestie. If you struggle finding comps, or just want to find more TBR gems, check out @aealexander.bsky.social's databases!!

Does anyone else race through the #10Queries age range and genre tags to see if the post could be yours, or are you all civilized? #RevPit #RevPitwaiting

First pages are hard. During my first 10Queries session for RevPit, I stopped in the middle of my thread to give some advice (I could go on all day, really!) to writers who are working on these all-important pages. You can find the full thread here: bsky.app/profile/jeni... #writingcommunity

Who is waiting for me to do #RevPit #10Queries?? Welp, tomorrow the wait will be over! Sorry it has taken me so long! I'd love to say it was intentional to keep you in suspense, but I was just slow. Join me 4/10 @ 1pm ET for my first set! I'll bring writing advice, you bring a cup of tea!

The War of Art by @stevenpressfield.bsky.social is an amazing fount of inspiration for all creatives that borders on philosophical. It's a brilliant kick in the pants that every writer needs in their arsenal. You'll never look at the word "resistance" the same again. #RevPitwaiting

I'm excited to read The Philosophy of Thieves in September: "Leverage meets Parasite meets Six of Crows in multi-award winning author Fran Wilde’s thrilling, high-tech adventure heist wrapped in a gaslamp fantasy where thieves are entertainment for the wealthy." #RevPitwaiting #hopefulcomp

I often write in stolen moments, so I currently have no designated writing space. But, here are preferred spots over the years. Not shown: the car at stoplights, my bedroom, beside my son's bed when he's not sleeping well, etc. #RevPitwaiting

Let's play "explain your book poorly." 😅 eg: Underworld - A woman bites her enemy to avenge her family. LOTR - group spends months delivering jewelry. Drop yours in the comments! #RevPitwaiting

Self-preservation is for the weak. 😆 #RevPitwaiting #A #SF

In 700 years, news is still horrible. #ChaosPit #Q #A #SF

No James Bond spy gadgets for my poor protagonist. #ChaosPit #Q #A #SF

I was fortunate to have had 7 beta readers. The best used the 🖍️ the most. Brutal but good. Shoutout to my awesome #RevPit CP's! @jessawrites.bsky.social @freyjadunkirk.bsky.social @racquel-sims.bsky.social @clairenwrites.bsky.social @thewriteratlas.bsky.social @rammwriter.bsky.social

I've got a query batch and RevPit submission out, so I'm on a writing break to tackle my TBR list.

Agent like for this one on X!!

It's been a busy day. Things are only going to get even more difficult. I still have Adult & YA in Fantasy, Horror, SciFi and Romance on my list. 😁 I'll post more teasers and 10Queries next week. Thanks to everyone that ❤️ and/or interacted with my posts this week.✨ #RevPitTeaser pie 🥧

Unless I can get in a little surprise #10Queries next week, which will largely depend on the length of some appointments and my chronic illness, my first session will be on April 7 at 2 pm CST! Stay tuned. 👀 #RevPit

Thread of #UnhingedPit pitches for my #A #SF Wallbreaker that I #amquerying

A tabulator's job is never easy, but when you're in charge of a spy, it's downright diabolical. "My asset went missing, Prime Minister." "Again?" "I filed a report and instituted mandatory overwatch. Here's the brief." "Find her." #UnhingedPit #A #SF #Q

The Antagonist would like a moment of your time. #UnhingedPit #Q #A #SF

Rolling Stones confirms "it's a legendary, expansively unhinged performance. This #A #SF transcends off the page to a live recorded album with accesible acuity." #UnhingedPit #Q

#RevPit This is my first RevPit and I've just realised I genuinely have no idea what, exactly, #10Queries are? It's like being a kid again when you get that something is really exciting but you're not entirely sure why.

As an avid book signing attendee, authors shine or fade for me by how they interact with fans. Pierce Brown (author of the Red Rising series) shines. And his books are awesome. Win win. I have lots of favorite authors but he tops the list. #RevPitwaiting

🧵This is my official #RevPitTeasers thread where I will post pie charts 🥧 and vague post about my subs as I read through them.

Chaos returns in ONE WEEK. #ChaosPit See chaospit.org for more info. #WriteSky (Note: #WIPSnips does not host this. Hosted by the We Write at Dawn Discord. Join link on the website)

My playlist evolved over the years, but I jammed to Red Hot Chili Peppers on my first pages. Some faves that transport me into Mia's world are: "Half Life" VOLK & Gregg Lehrman "Winter Bird" AURORA "UR Perfect I Hate It" Mickey Valen & Emilia Ali "Leave Me Alone" NF "Usurper" NXCRE & The Villains

(Stands in front of mental bookcase for twenty minutes.) Treasure Island Pride and Prejudice Ender's Game Red Rising series Saxon Chronicles Iron Fey series Malediction series Song of the Lioness series Queen's Thief series I like series. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #RevPitwaiting #RevPit

Launch into a dangerous military academy where a cunning highflier must battle murderous peers and outsmart an army set against her. This time she must rise or die. #LetMeSeePit #SF #A #Q #writingcommunity

The #RevPit community is my favorite corner of the internet 💖 #RevPitWaiting

For me, favorite authors are the ones I would read anything they wrote and come back to their stories like they're old friends. Bernard Cornwell, Pierce Brown, Megan Whalen Turner, Danielle Jensen, Jane Austen, and C.S. Lewis all make that list. #RevPitwaiting
