Gonna have to catch up on #camprevpit on the weekend. It's report card season and I'm exhausted
I don't know if he's a villain but he definitely antagonizes Corrine. Introducing Edwin, Corrine’s "younger" brother. He wants nothing more than to turn her cafe into a night club and reminds her every time he stops by of his plan. #CRPsparkleskunks #camprevpit
Jennifer Luce@jenniferluce.bsky.social · 5mo agoHello #CRPSparkleSkunks!! Today's question focuses on villains!! If you're canva-challenged like me, there are plenty of other options you can do instead!
I've left the parking lot and I'm making my way down a wide path on a nice leisurely hike to a beautiful look out point. I have a clear map of where I'm going, I just need to walk #camprevpit #revpit #crpsparkleskunks
Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 5mo agoGood 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?
Good Morning, Campers! I'm Drea! I write urban fantasy stories. I've decided to shelve my revpit book and I'm sharing something new! Vampire Corrine enters a cooking competition to save her diner and falls in love with a human reporter sent to cover the event #campkickoff #camprevpit
Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 5mo agoGood 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.
Okay! Got feedback from my writing besties about my opening, time to Cozy it up some more before #camprevpit. (But after I write report cards, gotta be responsible)
New book (still working on the pitch): Vampire chef enters a cooking competition to save her diner for supernatural creatures and falls in love with the human reporter covering the competition. #camprevpit #revpit
Signed up for camp #revpit with my new book. But it's weird. Weirder than Bloodless which is a mash up of real world police work and vampires. So maybe there will be a cabin for weird books?
Time to shelve Bloodless for the time being and work on something else. It's bittersweet but I think it's time. #revpit
My adrenaline is still high from almost being side swiped on the way to work
I'm enjoying the waiting zone. It's been so fun to read so many people's opening pages! You guys are all brilliant writers and you've written a whole book!! I'm excited to follow so many of you on this next part of your journey! ❤️❤️❤️
Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 6mo agoAnd for the last time in 2026... #RevPitWaiting: Results are in TOMORROW! We know it’s daunting, but let’s give each other some much needed kindness! Words of encouragement go a long way!
BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution
The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.
Tbh it's fairly infuriating to hear tech people talk about "vibecoding" positively when the past year of software for me has been plagued with shit I need for work seriously breaking in nearly every update
Edited 11k of my new book. We are so back. Sending it out to alpha readers soon!

having read a chunk of #revpit opening 20 pages in an exchange, I'm in awe of my fellow writers and I'm also wondering how the editors are ever going to decide #revpitwaiting
