Does anyone know of upcoming writing pitch events (here on bluesky and IG) for January and February? I always have so much fun participating in them, but sometimes don't hear of them until the day of.

I thought it would be fun to do twelve days of writing prompts. Day one is to share your opening lines. I'll share mine in the comments. #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writingfantasy #revising #queryingsoon

I'm going to sit down tonight and peruse the #RevPit #10queries posts to see if I can guess mine while I wait for the email with my feedback. A huge thank you to ALL the editors for the helpful advice and for volunteering your time to help the writing community! It is so appreciated!

Cannot wait to see the advice from #RevPit #10queries today. Thank you so much to everyone involved!

I'm shocked and so thankful that my submission to #RevPit #10Queries was selected! I'm looking forward to seeing the collective feedback we all receive and learning how to improve my query materials!

I'm so excited !!! I just entered #RevPit #10Queries. Enter now for a chance to win free feedback on your query and 1st 5 pages!

It was so fun participating in #DVPIT yesterday. I'm so thankful it gave me the opportunity to approach writing my hook from different angles. Thank you to the organizers and to the participating agents! And a huge congratulations to the authors and illustrators for putting yourselves out there!

When warring goddesses send their descendants to fight their battles, they should have known that two of them would fall in love, but three is company and one will not stop until the other two are destroyed. #dvpit #A #F #CF #MR

Neoma, the Dreamweaver, will not let Merrick rest until he returns to The Depths where they must work together to stop a tyrannical siren who wants them both dead. #A #CF #F #MR #DVPit

Ancient magic and our known world intersect, when Neoma, the Dreamweaver, calls Merrick home to his ancestral island to break a familial curse and to stop the siren who hunts him. #A #CF #F #MR #DVPIT

Lured by the ethereal call of Neoma, the Dreamweaver, Merrick learns of a familial curse that will end his life if he can’t reach the city beneath the sea in time to break it; that’s if the siren who wants to end his family line doesn’t get to him first. #A #CF #F #Latine #Native #WOC #DVPIT

Talking to the moon is the perfect song for Merrick. It's swoony and depicts the slow burn between he and the Dreamweaver. Sanctuary is perfect for Neoma as she's often left fending for herself. Finally I choose me is the perfect song for, [redacted], the villain who puts herself first. #dvparty

Yesterday I also shared the first line of my next project, DICE AND DAGGERS. I plan to focus on this story over the spooky season and I absolutely love these characters and the setting (think haunted manor in the Pacific Northwest).

It was so fun to submit my first lines for 1stlinepit yesterday on IG. I thought I'd share here too. This is my first line from Project Huntress.

Who else is participating in 1stlinepit over on Instagram? Let me know! I'd love to read and boost your story with likes and comments. I'm @thekaylafoster on IG
