Hi there! Contemporary/upmarket w/ B-plot romance. Dramedy. Small town, big problems. Here for the betas and critique partners! #camprevpit #CRPBeeMine

A slim, sharp read. So sad and satisfying. The last chapter wrecked in the best way possible. 💔

Feeling heartened to have been shortlisted for #revpit. My favorite part of this has been connecting with other writers and joining #camprevpit. Thanks @hannaneier.bsky.social for your helpful feedback and all of the editors who spearhead revpit!

Woo just signed up!

Cool! What pitch event?

This sounds so helpful, will check out

I love "On Writing" by Stephen King and "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. Getting some of the books with a lot of comments! Thanks for recs

Khakis, capris, board shorts. I'm a pantser all the way.

Helps me weed through ideas and surprises. The revisions feel more strategic and pre-planned. 👖

Thanks for sharing!

SO often, especially with dialogue tags.

Unbelievable...oh wait.

Ah can't wait to read it!

I only read the first story so far. Might've held my breath the entire time!

There should be a word for the kind of dorky excitement you feel when your fave writer has a new book. 📚

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

Oh yes, this resonates! My daughter likes to "type with me" 😅

Here's my sweet little space! I usually start writing before my family wakes up and distracts. My main incentive to get out of bed is a large coffee. By the time I'm "done" each morning, it's bright and there's birds chirping. 🐦

A fun fact about is I shared my WiP with a few mental health therapists, to make sure the dialogue was authentic/ethical (the MC is a therapist). Also researched a ton about going to school for counseling (these books helped!). In another life that would've been my career 🧠

Houston, we have a boatload of problems

Those early readers are the ultimate push for next drafts/ revisions! Nothing like getting feedback and reactions as a guiding light. 🕯️

Thanks @lhl4.bsky.social / @maggiesbooks.bsky.social ! Found some fab critique partners on AW! Shout out to Cara, Nancy, and Kat ❤️

Life's sweeter with animals.

Our cat, Coke, crossed into catnip heaven a few months ago. He looked a lot like this guy! Our other cat, Kola, always looks pissed off.

Zuna is a melodramatic hound dog whose voice cracks when she howls.

That sounds great! I can get in touch sometime next month.

Whitney!

*Gets up and sings into a hairbrush*

Haha yeah, no rush! Can stay in touch for swapping.

Hey #revpit / #revpitwaiting

Anyone writing another WiP and ready for a beta swap? (65k Spec Fic/Social Horror here). Happy to take a look at others' WiPs and offer feedback. Been a critique partner for a few years and would be great to connect with new writers via RevPit. Feel free to reach out. 🌱

She's amazing. I teach yoga, and I've added a bunch of her songs to my playlist.
