The endorphin rush of finally making that doctor appointment, followed by the cortisol crash of seeing these dreaded words in your inbox: “Welcome to our patient portal!”

Thank you! *preens*

I got my inbox down from 25k+ emails to only 22k+ 🎉🎉🎉

+270 for me! I have a section I’m rearranging AND adding to, so it’s slow going :)

Thank you for joining us 🥰

Wtg!!!

Check in with what you got done anytime then! WTG squeezing in words before bed 🦾

Yay congrats!

It's Monday, which means another writing sprint this evening! 📝😎
🕰 7pm ET / 4pm PT
Hope to see you there!

Hi #writingcommunity ! My fellow #RevPit editor @raqueledits.bsky.social and I are hosting a writing sprint again today (Monday 11/10) at 7pm Eastern! It’s very casual. We’ll post a thread at that time using tag #FIFRevPit - comment with a bit about your project & we’ll get to writing :)

Ooo yes much more compelling. Now I’d suggest adding one or two unique elements of your story that other similar stories don’t have.

Consider cutting this down to tell us what Anya wants. And what is the choice she’s facing? A choice is more compelling than basic stakes.

Since space is limited, consider using the second paragraph to keep us honed in on the stakes related to the two characters you’ve introduced.

I love the intro of the time period! Instead of multiple disparate points, consider merging them somewhat. Try to squeeze in all of GMC - Character’s goal/want & motivation to get it? Then the choice before them. A choice is more hooky than simple stakes. #Mockpit

I started #MockPit a literal decade ago on Twitter, when there was still a 140 character limit. Publishing has changed a lot since then, and I discontinued the event a few years ago as a lot of pitch contests started to fold.

I couldn't be more excited that #RevPit is bringing it back.

Hey #MockPit -- a couple things I'm seeing:

1. we don't need the title in the pitch

2. make sure you learn and include the standard genre and age category abbreviations. this doesn't super matter for mockpit but does for pitch events!

Y'all are killing it with the aesthetics

With La Casa de Las Flores?

👀👀👀

I have a doc I keep for each novel with the chopped bits, in case I need to get something back 😅 It happens now and then.

Woohoo!! Wtg :)

Awesome wtg :) It's so, so easy to prioritize other things, so it can be nice to have a dedicated time. I signed up so fast to co-host the ones I could, because they help me too! :)

Oh wow, wtg! Also, it is definitely an important skill knowing when you sometimes need to cut bits. It can be really hard. Do you keep what you cut for potential future use?
