Just hit 55k words in my current WIP and phew, this is the hard part, right? Things start to flow a bit more in the last 10k… I just need to get there! 🥹

I bought notebooks this round with dreams of writing by hand! Curious if anyone has a ritual involving paper and pen! 📝

Rise & Shine #CRPSirens ☀️ My relationship with writing has changed over the years, & each project has required different things from me. Sometimes it was sneaking in a sentence on my phone during a sliver of nap time or scribbling in a journal in the dark hours once the littles went to bed. Cont⬇️

In the background, shelves of books stand in rows in a bookstore with a darkened filter on top to darken the image. The text overtop the image reads: The Rise & Shine Chronicles: setting yourself up for success. Day 2: April 21. Do you have any writing rituals or rhythms? How do you approach your writing time? Do you have any wonders or wishes about writing routines? Let us know below and we can talk about it together.

With my first manuscript, I wasted all my full requests on a very drafty draft. I’m determined to not let that happen again and will use the same scheduling intensity to make sure I go through three full drafts and feel fully confident in my querying version!

Love this! I am an @jamiattenberg.bsky.social #1000wordsaday alum! I started last May and finished my first manuscript in August. I started my second one a couple months ago. When I’m drafting, I just never skip a day!! My intense personality has to pay off at some point, right? 😅

Hi, #CRPSirens! I’m Liz. Nice to meet y’all. I’m working on my second manuscript. I’m set to finish in mid-May! It’s book club fiction about a queer woman whose wife’s pregnancy pushes her to her own experimental bodily transformation. 💉♥️

Good morning #CRPSirens 🧜🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️ I’m Nadine & I write romantic fantasy books. My book, MYTH, MUSE, MAGICIAN just hit the query trenches & I’m working on my next project which includes a second chance romance, women in STEM, only-one-textbook, and a MMC with a devastatingly-sharp jawline 😏 (Cont. 🧵)

In the background, a photo of the inside of Barter Books in Alnwick, with stoned walls and shelves of books. Over top, text that reads: “we’re live, we’re live, we’re live! And embracing our author era. Day 1: April 20. 1. Introduce yourself. 2z Tell us a bit about what you’re working on. 3. Set an intention for our time together. What do you want to get out of Camp RevPit?

When her wife becomes pregnant, a woman who has always felt at odds with her body tries to become the perfect mother through a series of experimental injections, but each dose brings her closer to losing the very feelings that make motherhood possible. #WIP #5amwritersclub

BETA READERS WANTED!! Let’s swap!! New #WIP: Feeling alienated from her wife’s pregnancy, a woman begins a mysterious bio-hacking regimen that upgrades her body each month. By the ninth injection she may become powerful enough to lose her humanity, her marriage, and her desire for motherhood.

Some stories heal us. Some stories haunt us. Their podcast does both. Lynley, 32, a writing teacher in New York, has begun recording her black-and-white past with the ex-love-of-her-life, only to realize their podcast might cost her a future with the woman who makes her see life in color. #querying

Nobody Wants This x Heart the Lover As a woman publicly unpacks the truth of her first love on a podcast created with her newly sober ex, she begins falling for her best friend off-mic, forcing her to decide whether to keep revising old stories or finally let herself write something real #questpit
