Sometimes I plan them, but usually they just sprout out when I'm drafting or revising!
I quote post!

The small, human moments between characters! They get passed by often, but they add SO much development and depth to the characters and make them feel real.
My favorite in my WIP is that the MC hates nuts and the other character finds this baffling.
Agreed!!!!
Nooooo I'm so sorry! I had the opposite. I was more focused on themes and character than romance and vibes and was ignored because of it. But the important part is finding a place where people get YOU and YOUR writing. I'm hoping this cabin is a safe space for us all too!
Oh no! That's so rough! I'm sorry you never heard back. But yes! Writer friends are the best :) Exchanging work is such a good way to make life long friends.
Oh I get that too.
The negative group was...well they were great with each other! But I didn't write the right love interests so they weren't interested in my work. I'm slowly finding my own way again! And you'll find people you trust!
#CRPFantasyFoxes love this prompt!
I'm looking for some new CPs and to practice sharing my work again. I used to be so much better at it, and now I'm anxious after a really negative group I was in.
Looking forward to seeing what else's goals are!
Thank you! I love the series so much!!!! I'm excited too!
Forgot to tag #CRPFantasyFoxes !!!
Hi all! I'm Lin, I'm a marketer and I love to write fantasy of all sorts! Last year I wrote a series that I'm hoping to get published about dragons, religious trauma, cultural exchange/the beauty of culture, and love. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Really excited for #camprevpit to start! I didn't participate in the contest this year, but I've participated many times in the past and love the community!

I have a substack now. Does this mean I have to be more active on social media? 😂
Apparently there's a bluesky galaxy. My BIL showed it to me and it's fascinating!

Black and white background of desert sand dunes with white script "The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh Agent Guide"
Background of black and white desert sand dunes The Pitch Nefeli's gift of sensing magical relics has made her a world-class thief, but tapping into her power comes with a cost: her vision. With every use of her magic, her degenerative eye disorder worsens. A few more heists and Nefeli fears she'll be left with vague shadows in the dark—something she's avoiding at all costs. What use is a thief who can't see what she's trying to steal? But when her sister Sadiya's fragile health crumbles, Nefeli must choose: her sight or her sister. Against Sadiya's wishes, Nefeli agrees to a dangerous job posing as a noble at a political summit. If Nefeli can hunt down a long-hidden relic for a secretive influential family, she'll earn enough for her sister's treatment. The catch? The summit is crawling with dragons, scheming politicians, powerful magic users…and worst of all, Kadir, a former fling who knows Nefeli's not who she claims to be. Nefeli only has a fortnight to find the missing relic before access to the palace closes for another century. If she's going to succeed, she must rely on Kadir's help, despite the risk of him blowing her cover at any moment. And with her vision tunneling in, completing the job will force Nefeli to confront her biggest fear: without her sight, who is she? The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh
Background of black and white desert sand dunes The Snippet "I'm scared," she whispered. "I'm scared of the day I open my eyes and there's nothing left to see. It doesn't matter that there are aids or that so many people thrive without sight. I know that one day, my memories of what things look like will fade—and they will. Even now, I forget constellations that I used to be able to see. Like those constellations, all other images will fade into the darkness until I don't remember the details of a sunset, or the flash of Sadiya's smile. I will be trapped inside my head, smothered by the knowledge of just how much I've forgotten." The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh

Locke Lamora X ODW
To save her sick sister, visually-impaired thief Nefeli agrees to a treasure hunt for a lost relic. As her sight declines with each use of magic, she must outwit dragons, powerful magic, and—worst of all—politicians before her world goes dark for good.
