and there are lots of other examples. how have stories from hmong creatives have you read? are you going to not read any of those because they're not also gay? like I GET it I do but I think it's limiting!! and it's frustrating to hear ANYBODY say they only want to read about themselves

Yeah no question it’s @adropofmagick.bsky.social for being such a supportive leader throughout camp! Thanks for being amazing, and I cannot wait til your book is out in the world. #CampRevPit #ShoutOut

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ #CampRevPit is coming to an end soon. We hope you had lots of fun, met new friends and put down some words! On the last day of camp, #ShoutOut a writer friend who's inspired you, helped you along your journey, or just been a great Camp buddy. 👏

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.

Gotta shout out @adropofmagick.bsky.social for being such an involved, supportive, generous cabin counselor. The entire #CRPDirewolves cabin was so fun to hang out, everyone was so engaged. @hollywhits.bsky.social and @casshabs.bsky.social were amazing swap partners, thank you both! #CampRevPit

This week has been filled with fundraisers for youth arts programs and it fills me with joy as well as RAGE that we need to scramble so much just to survive. Access to the arts should be a given in all communities.

#CampRevPit #CRPDirewolves #CharacterFlaw Lyric is easy — he’s certain he can get away with any of his impulses. Andres on the other hand is far more internal. He puts duty above all else, which makes his priority anything but himself.

Happy Saturday, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Who doesn't love a beautifully imperfect character? Tell us more about your #CharacterFlaw. What is your MC’s biggest flaw, and how does it derail them?

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the firefly clings to a branch and dangles a tied stack of story notes from a stick with the label “Darlings” written on the top page. The caterpillar reaches for the tied bundle of notes with mouth wide open, ready to chow down. Behind the tree, which still has bite marks from the caterpillar’s previous meal, the mantis holds her claws to her face in dismay. Dawn is beginning to tint the horizon red. The image has the text: Day 6: #CharacterFlaw

#OneLineMC #CRPDirewolves #CampRevPit An early fight, Andres says to Lyric: “You have this really /adorable/ way of acting first and thinking later, and then you think you can joke your way out of it, you think you can just do whatever you want and apologize later.”

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️Let's start the day with your main character! Use #OneLineMC and share a line from your manuscript that tells us all we need to know about your MC’s personality.

On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, #OneLineMC

Tbh I SEE all the weeds that need to be cut and KNOW a lot of the crops that need to be sown, but somehow it’s a struggle to find a scythe and my watering can (can anyone tell I’ve been procrastinating with Stardew?) #CampRevPit #CRODirewolves #CampMap

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today, please draw us your #CampMap: Use a visual metaphor to describe where you are with your project. Are you lost in the woods? Climbing a mountain? Sailing the seven seas?

Hello fellow campers! I write genre stories that champion diversity, empathy, and curiosity and center folks on the outside barging in. Currently working on short stories and a play, but for camp will focus on my cozy fantasy about newly retired superheroes (in love) #CampKickoff #CRPDirewolves

Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ Let's kick off #CampRevPit with some introductions! Use #CampKickoff to tell us a bit about yourself and what you're working on. Pitch it in any way, shape, or form.

A well-fed green caterpillar sits on a little hill to the right of the screen, eating a pile of pages labeled with the words “story notes.” On the left, a Camp RevPit flag waves at the end of a flagpole. There is a blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The following text is on the picture: Day 1: #CampKickOff

Definitely discovery. I start with characters who come fully formed and a spark of a scenario, & just start writing a scene to tell me more about them. This lets me know tone as well as gives me ideas for where the emotional journey is going to go. Then they consume my brain. #RevPit #RevPitWaiting
