My silly working shorthand...

Started a new WIP this week, which is exciting and exhausting. Here's the last dialogue exchange I wrote! “Oh, boy. Five extra dollars to spend on books,” she deadpanned. Finnigan Begin Again cleared his throat. “We just got in a bunch of Brandon Sanderson. Those go fast.” #FiFRevPit

ready for some prompts!!

Congrats to @jademasonwrites.bsky.social! Hoping her talent and luck rubs off on the rest of us!

All that to say -- writers, get involved with @reviseresub.bsky.social! It's FREE and everyone is NICE and HELPFUL!

I hoped this was mine, and it was. 🥲 After 26 form rejections, I was losing confidence in my query package, but my gut was telling me I just haven't put it in front of the right person yet. THANK YOU @mariatureaud.bsky.social for confirming that hope! #10queries #revpit
