#WIPSnips June 1 - loss Who doesn't love a little unrequited love (or so he thinks) in a fake relationship? #WIP #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! It's June! Woah! The #WIPSnips words for June 1st is "loss" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
1. fmc has an old stuffed rabbit with one button eye 2. mmc has an unexpected kid on the way 3. mmc's grandma is named Lois #CampRevPit #CampTrivia #CRPSirens
Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Tuesday is #CampTrivia time! Post 3 weird facts about your WIP: 2 truths, 1 lie. Let us guess the fake.
In my current WIP, FMC thinks MMC is still married for a majority of it, so every time they get close she pushes him away and runs in the opposite direction. #CRPSirens #CampRevPit
#CRPSirens I need your tips on creating tension! Emily Varga shared on On The Write Track Podcast that if your one MC is a firefighter, the other better be an arsonist. Now I’m always asking: How can I create opposition? What do they have to overcome? How do you approach tension? LMK👇
Trying to figure out what my original thought was for a revision before I went down the rabbit hole of ideas🤪 #GifRevisions #CampRevPit #CRPSirens

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ Hope the spirits are high as we get into the second week of #CampRevPit! Today, use #GifRevisions and describe your revision process with a gif, meme, photo, or whatever visual tickles your fancy.
Does grandma meddling from beyond the grave count as a trope?😂 #CRPSirens #CampRevPit #TropeSunday
Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ On #TropeSunday, tell us what tropes are in your story (on purpose or by accident). Which ones are you embracing, subverting, or reimagining? Drop a fun graphic if you're up for it! 😉
Kai and Georgia have been friends since they were babies. She spent more time at his grandma's house than at her own partly because they were best friends and partly because her parents were never home. #CRPSirens #CampRevPit
Alright #CRPSirens we’ve spent 7 days together. Let’s gather around the campfire get into those juicy details! How did your characters meet? I would LOVE to see your snippets, too 👀 #CampRevPit
Georgia: runs away so no one can hurt her, ghosted Kai for a decade because she was in love with him and he was getting married Kai: doesn't tell Georgia he's divorced but continues to chase her because he's been in love with her since they were kids #CharacterFlaw #CampRevPit #CRPSirens
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?
“Fine. Run away again. It’s what you’re good at.” #DialogueDrop #CampRevPit #CRPSirens
Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today's prompt is #DialogueDrop. Share a snippet of dialogue that captures the essence of your story or MC, or maybe just a bit that makes you laugh.
Fun fact: the background image of the snippet is one I took at the house that inspired my setting! #CRPSirens #CRPBeemine #CampRevPit

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?
I always require some form of caffeine and music. Noise canceling headphones are a must a lot of the time if I want to really stay focused. My cat is usually nearby to judge me while I work too😂 #CRPSirens #CampRevPit
Rise & Shine #CRPSirens ☀️ My relationship with writing has changed over the years, & each project has required different things from me. Sometimes it was sneaking in a sentence on my phone during a sliver of nap time or scribbling in a journal in the dark hours once the littles went to bed. Cont⬇️
Hi fellow #CRPSirens! I'm Kate & I write contemporary romance. My book, OVERCOMING, is currently in the trenches & I'm working on a new project that's friends ➡️ strangers ➡️ lovers. My intention is to set aside time specifically to work on this during #CampRevPit. Hoping to make some new friends too!
Good morning #CRPSirens 🧜🧜♀️🧜♂️ I’m Nadine & I write romantic fantasy books. My book, MYTH, MUSE, MAGICIAN just hit the query trenches & I’m working on my next project which includes a second chance romance, women in STEM, only-one-textbook, and a MMC with a devastatingly-sharp jawline 😏 (Cont. 🧵)
