I like to outline by hand, free thoughts need to have the room to bloom all over the page in big, bold, sprawling letters. From there we go to a typed one, a detailed one, and it grows from there. But each story has its own notebook to fill with ideas, quotes and pictures. #revpit #revpitwaiting

A Song to Drown Rivers meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in LADY HAN'S MANUAL FOR MATRIMONIAL MAYHEM, in which the mischievous bride fights for divorce with chaos: 😈 unlikeable heroine ⚔️ enemies-to-lovers 💑 marriage of convenience 👑 political intrigue #questpit #A #RF #W (line editing for #Q soon!)

Agent's guide to Lady Han's Manual for Matrimonial Mayhem: 89K Adult Fantasy Romcom with low spicePitch: What can a girl do to escape an arranged marriage, but to prank her husband to hell and back in the hopes that he will divorce her? In the Dazhen Empire, twenty-year-old Wen Anling’s comfortable life is turned upside down when her father forces her to marry Han Shiyan, the wealthy Lord of Qinglan. In a desperate bid for freedom, Anling fights chaos with chaos, by transforming herself into the nastiest wife possible. Shiyan only married Anling to honour his mother’s dying wish. Had he known his new wife would send his simple life straight to mayhem, he would have thrown honour out the nearest window. But when his wife continues to get under his skin, he cannot help but grow intrigued by her eccentric nature—once he sees her irritating antics as what they truly are: harmless. In the face of deadly threats, Anling must embrace her role as Lady Han and turn her cunning mind to their common enemies, or grab the freedom offered to her and watch the empire fall.Comps: The Darkness Within Us, A Song to Drown Rivers, How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysExtract: Shiyan’s eyes widened for a heartbeat before he forced composure back onto his features. Her face was powdered with a thick layer of white, as if she had simply dunked it into a bowl of flour. Her bright red lip-paint smudged at the edges and… Heavens forbid women dab their cheeks with uneven blobs of pink. Even the most senile and stern of his guests held their hands to their stomachs, straining to hold back fits of laughter. He would have gladly joined them, too, if he wasn’t the one with the honour of marrying this… this… buffoon. He swallowed and recited the wise sayings of his forefathers: one should not judge a book by its cover; a woman’s beauty runs deeper than appearances; virtues are lasting while beauty is fleeting. Oh, to hell with wise sayings.

A sensible summer student begins a passionate, no-strings fling with her single-dad host in laid-back, leafy post-Cold War Berlin. But when love intrudes and summer ends, they face an impossible choice: give up career and duty… or each other. #Questpit #Q #A #R #RF
