Dean and his girlfriend want to explore polyamory. Dean is not out as bisexual so it needs to be secret. 🤫 They just met a really cute, funny guy they both like a lot. 😍 The guy lives with Dean’s classmate, who is also crushing on Dean. 😰 Things are about to get messy. 🫣 #BluePit #📖 #NA #R #Q

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👇

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

The main road through my hometown brings back memories from my childhood. All of them include Kai. The ice cream shop we always loved. My favorite bookstore where he would find a graphic novel and read while I browsed for hours or talked to the owner about what I’d been reading. The town square where we ran around during the town festivals.
Wind whips through my open windows as I make my way to Lois’s house on the outskirts of town. The long driveway makes me nostalgic for the old days when things were easier. The gravel crunches beneath my tires. I pass the spot where I wiped out on my bike and Kai carried me into the house when we were kids. The first tree I ever climbed. The trails through the woods we liked to run through.

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

In the background, an image of a lake surrounded by mountains and evergreen trees. The text reads: Camp Confessions: Meet Cute Day 7: April 26. How did your characters meet? Share a snippet if you’re up for it! Find two writers and comment on their posts.

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?

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

Fun fact: the background image of the snippet is one I took at the house that inspired my setting! #CRPSirens #CRPBeemine #CampRevPit

text: I didn’t fall in love with him all at once. It wasn’t love at first sight or whatever the kids are calling it these days. It happened slowly. So slowly, in fact, that I don’t think I even realized I loved him until the ring had already been purchased, the plans for his engagement to another woman set.

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⬇️

In the background, shelves of books stand in rows in a bookstore with a darkened filter on top to darken the image. The text overtop the image reads: The Rise & Shine Chronicles: setting yourself up for success. Day 2: April 21. Do you have any writing rituals or rhythms? How do you approach your writing time? Do you have any wonders or wishes about writing routines? Let us know below and we can talk about it together.

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. 🧵)

In the background, a photo of the inside of Barter Books in Alnwick, with stoned walls and shelves of books. Over top, text that reads: “we’re live, we’re live, we’re live! And embracing our author era. Day 1: April 20. 1. Introduce yourself. 2z Tell us a bit about what you’re working on. 3. Set an intention for our time together. What do you want to get out of Camp RevPit?

Can't wait for Franchaela in Bridgerton's fifth season? While you wait, shall I suggest my sapphic historical fantasy filled with family drama, dangerous magic, and so much yearning? 🌹 1908, Belle Époque, France 🔥 Slow-burn sapphic romance 🗝️ Cozy *and* Gothic #PosterPit #P #A #F #HF #LGBT

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up.  The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood.  The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original."  Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes."  At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."
