✍🏼 Aspiring Author, Chronic Yapper 📝 RevPit ‘26 Shortlist 🎓 MA Political Science 🕊️Rep’d by Madison Potter @ Olswanger Literary

This is tough!! 1. After writing draft one, I threw it away and re-wrote it from scratch 2. The ending came to me mere moments before writing it 3. I changed my mind about which brother my FMC would end up with halfway through #CampTrivia #CampRevPit #CRPDirewolves

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Tuesday is #CampTrivia time! Post 3 weird facts about your WIP: 2 truths, 1 lie. Let us guess the fake.

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 9 CampTrivia

And what if every. single. love interest was a villain in their own way? What then? “The Ilvanor brothers each served their own interests alone.” In 🕊️A LIGHT THAT BINDS - love is pain, baby. HEA who? 💔 #CampRevPit #VillainVoices #CRPDirewolves

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight. What would they say your story is about? Pitch it from your villain's perspective. #VillainVoices

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. Day 4: #Villain Voices

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.

For my #RevPit submission, I had a dream and a blank document. I wrote it once, threw it away, and then plotted everything out and re-wrote it. My current WIP? I’m operating off my deranged, illegible scribblings. I have a vibe, a name, and an ending scrawled on the back of a napkin. #RevPitWaiting

#RevPit Waiting 

4/8 - Plotter or Pantser

Tell us a little about your writing process! Do you discovery write, plan every detail, or a mix of the two?

I totally missed this but my set up is very boring (chair - uncomfortable, preferably, to remind me I’m alive. Desk/dining table, you get the idea). But I do have one very strict requirement, without which my brain cannot function! #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

For #revpitwaiting today’s theme is to celebrate CPs! My sweet CP who has read through my book multiples times isn’t on BlueSky (😭) but a new CP pal @emily-isliterate.bsky.social has been such a gift to me already! Thanks for all of your insights and encouragement so far! 🥰🫶

The Critique Partner 🐐 @jscanwrites.bsky.social has made me a better writer in every way and the world NEEDS to read her amazing work. The biggest of shoutouts to her during #RevPitWaiting I’m so lucky to have her in my life as a writing inspiration and as a friend! 🖤😤

Today’s #RevPitWaiting theme is the Critique Partner shoutout, and there’s no one more deserving of that praise than @emily-isliterate.bsky.social! Goldspinner would only be a fraction of what it is without her thoughtful insights🩵 I can’t wait for the day E.E. Gordon is a household name!

What would you do to protect the only family you have left? Elara Seraphin’s answer is easy: anything. Including selling out a child to the Regime with the same Talent she herself is hiding. King’s Landing meets Arcane in my adult, epic, romantic fantasy A LIGHT THAT BINDS 🕊️🏛️ #amquerying

Who are your favorite authors and why? Have any of them been a source of inspiration for you?

I’ve literally been WAITING for this 😭😭 I exclusively listened to ROSALÌA’s album LUX while writing ALTB and trained myself like a Pavlovian dog to get in the mood to write! And because I’m insane, I gave each character a song Oh, and I can now speak 13 languages (jk, I wish) #revpitwaiting
