o.o "The longer he peers at the old map, the more unsettled he feels. There is a symbol he doesn’t recognize marking the Palace’s plateau, which isn’t that weird, but there’s also an identical symbol in the surrounding mountains. What could that mean?" #CRPFireflies #CampRevPit #ScavengerHunt

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟭: #ScavengerHunt Because no camp is complete without a scavenger hunt: share a line, an image, or an object in your story that hides a secret, easter egg, or a twist.

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. The text "#ScavengerHunt" is at the bottom.

Once, the world was fuller. Creatures roamed all the land, and vast forests and grasslands grew. People built great cities and knew luxuries we must only imagine. Then, the Maws came. As they spread, they swallowed everything, except when they spat out monsters. #CRPFireflies #CampRevPit #CampMyth

𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟲: #CampMyth What's a camp without that one local legend passed around the campfire? Today, your manuscript is that legend! Create a campfire myth about your WIP's world. Spooky, silly, or serious—go wild! #CampRevPit

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 #CampMyth at the bottom.

Foreground antagonists: this unprecedented disaster was a tragedy for diplomatic relations between the city-states Background antagonists: our plan for procuring a new, sustainable energy source is going really well, actually #CRPFireflies #CampRevPit #VillainVoices

𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟰: #VillainVoices Good morning, #CampRevPit! Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight. What would 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 say your book is about?

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

A view of Earth rising above the Moon's horizon, taken from space. The Moon's barren, gray surface stretches across the lower portion of the image, while Earth appears as a small, vibrant blue-and-white sphere against the vast blackness of space.

I hoist my pack, the embers of my campfire extinguished. I'm at the edge of a clearing. Ahead, the Forest of Editing seems brighter, the brambles less tangling, the path clearer. I might finally reach the other side. I might finally reach the Sea of Querying and set sail. #CampMap #CampRevPit

DAY 2 #𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗠𝗮𝗽 Hope your first night by the fire sparked your inspiration! 🔥 Today, your manuscript is your map. What stage of your project are you at? Are you lost in the woods? Climbing a mountain? Sailing the seven seas? Use a visual metaphor or a gif, or even draw us a map. #CampRevPit

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. Text overlaid on the blue sky reads, #CampMap. What stage of your project are you at, Campers?

I'll be working on some light edits of my first pages and query for my science fantasy, working title The Tower's Blood, about a blood mage who joins a burgeoning workers' revolution in a malevolent, organic palace. Think Gideon the Ninth x the Avalanche team from FFVII.

DAY 1 #𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗼𝗳𝗳 Good morning, scribbler bugs! Let's kick off #CampRevPit with some positive vibes! Tell us—what will you be working on during Camp? Pitch it in any way, shape, or form that fits your mood.
