SF writer - querying WALLBREAKER | commercial maintenance operations | wife & mama | night owling through my TBR list

Hi #CRPWizardWasps I'm Michelle. I write sci-fi and fantasy. I'll be revising my first 50 of the MS I've been querying and polishing my query and synopsis before hitting the trenches again. My story is about an exiled highflier who must outsmart an army to return home to the boy she loves.

#RevPitWaiting T-2! Before a 'journey' that I've started is coming to an end, I like reminding myself of what I'm thankful for. What good things have come from the journey. Things that I wouldn't have had if I didn't put myself out there to possibly experience disappointment. [pls not me lol]

4/12 - THANK YOUs. Is there anyone you’d like to thank? Someone who made #RevPitWaiting better? Who helped you get to today?

Who is waiting for me to do #RevPit #10Queries?? Welp, tomorrow the wait will be over! Sorry it has taken me so long! I'd love to say it was intentional to keep you in suspense, but I was just slow. Join me 4/10 @ 1pm ET for my first set! I'll bring writing advice, you bring a cup of tea!

The War of Art by @stevenpressfield.bsky.social is an amazing fount of inspiration for all creatives that borders on philosophical. It's a brilliant kick in the pants that every writer needs in their arsenal. You'll never look at the word "resistance" the same again. #RevPitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting Day T-4 This is my FAVORITE prompt #RevPit! Editors have been so kind & helpful with 10 queries (even posting more than is required!) And I also think WE have the capacity to help each other be better writers. So let's share 🤗

4/10 - Resource Share. What are your fav craft books? Resources that helped you improve? Let’s help each other be better writers!

#RevPitWaiting Day 24! I might've pulled another switcheroo... There was a slight miscalculation on my part and I hadn't anticipated that virtually everyone talked about their hobbies in their personal intro. So #RevPit ... the dreaded question:

4/9 - 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'm excited to read The Philosophy of Thieves in September: "Leverage meets Parasite meets Six of Crows in multi-award winning author Fran Wilde’s thrilling, high-tech adventure heist wrapped in a gaslamp fantasy where thieves are entertainment for the wealthy." #RevPitwaiting #hopefulcomp

#RevPitWaiting Day 23! TBR and Best of 2025 tier lists! I couldn't pick between one or the other so why not BOTH Post screen shots of your TBR, images of your 5⭐ reads in 2025, or tell #RevPit peeps what book you're looking forward to the most this year!

4/8 - Best of 2025. Tell us your best and/or most anticipated reads of 2025! Just don’t tell my endless TBR pile, okay?

I often write in stolen moments, so I currently have no designated writing space. But, here are preferred spots over the years. Not shown: the car at stoplights, my bedroom, beside my son's bed when he's not sleeping well, etc. #RevPitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting Day 19! You guys had SUCH AMAZING prompts yesterday! Floored by how creative they all were. Inspo for next year? 👀 10 Days left until #RevPit winners are announced. Next week there will be prompts every day until April 14th 🤗

4/4 - Writing Space. Show us your writing space! If you don’t feel comfortable taking pictures, tell us about your writing habits/rituals!

Let's play "explain your book poorly." 😅 eg: Underworld - A woman bites her enemy to avenge her family. LOTR - group spends months delivering jewelry. Drop yours in the comments! #RevPitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting Day 18... I messed up in the OG post and put moodboard twice. A couple weeks ago, I asked #RevPit for ideas on what to put instead and there were so many nice ideas. I couldn't decide what to choose...so I didn't 😬 Let's drop some prompt ideas in the comments for inspo!

4/3 - WILDCARD. Choose your own prompt day! Show off secondary characters, a snippet you love. Let’s be creative 🪄
