Not any particular ones, its an aspect of my writing I've started to work on more, incorporating themes and making sure they're clear in my WIP. I love the first one you mentioned, find what you love and let it kill you. πŸ˜†

Are there themes that your finding particularly drawn to right now?

#RevPit pro tip:

If you missed an editor's #MeetTheEditor chat, you can still @ them with questions about their MSWLs, RevPit, or whatever else

A tear traced down Mara’s gaunt face. β€œBut do you know what I remember #most?”

Kaden didn’t answer, his body limp on the downy grass.

Mara leaned in, close enough that her large black eyes filled his vision. β€œI remember how quickly all that wonder can rot under contempt and scorn.”

I am a plotter, but not hardcore. Sometime my characters decide to make new decisions, especially with any love interests.

I am participating this year, its just so fun! 3rd year now!

#Revpit, be you a pantser, plotter, or some chaos creature that's in between.

If you’re on the fence about #RevPit, I’m always tempted to say you have nothing to lose + everything to gain. Which is true.

But I also want to acknowledge that there are genuine reasons not to enter. So, I present you:

I’m thrilled to share that I’m now represented by @laneheymont.bsky.social at The Tobias Literary Agency for my gothic horror novel, THE BANSHEE OF CLAN MURTAGH, and future written works. I was blown away by Lane’s enthusiasm and vision for BANSHEE and for my career, and can’t wait for what’s next!

#Revpit for when you get so blind to your own #WIP that you can't see rabbits anymore.

I know! I got sick last week and then this week thought, yay, I'm getting better! Then yesterday my body whispered, 'no... you're not.' So that's been fun. Hope your body fights it off and you feel better tomorrow.

SO many rounds of revision to get it to match our vision.

Just finishing up my first big picture revision of my #shrike #WIP in time for #RevPit. It doesn't feel quite as insane as my usual zero drafts (could I be learning?), which is nice, but we all know the first revision is just the beginning.

Really no way to pick wrong (unless the editor doesn't want your genre/age category) but...

Think its impossible to summarize your whole book in one page?

Think again.

This is also me trying to explain my cool idea to someone after they ask. Before I devolve into mumbling incoherence.

The purpose of #RevPit. If you haven't ever done it, you should. All reward with no risk!

Morning, all! With #RevPit editor announcements coming out in a few minutes, let’s take a moment to talk about RevPit, the annual contest, and the editors.

I’m a co-founding editor and board member, and it’s really exciting to be celebrating our TENTH annual contest. Like…WHAT? How?
