Don’t you just hate it when a book is both; soo good that you can’t wait to see what happens, and; so good that you don’t want it to be over? Anyway… *wriggles butt back down into chair to finish said book*
Nikki is 💫 revising ⚔️
@nikkipwrites.bsky.social
38. she/her. tea drinker. currently querying YA portal fantasy 📖 queer 🏳️🌈 ND 🧠 D&D nerd/forever DM 🎲 #amquerying
Inside me are two wolves: one who makes plans with friends for later in the month because two weeks from now seems so far away it might as well not even exist, and one who immediately tries to figure out how to cancel those plans because he’s already too pre-exhausted
Things have been crazy for me the past couple weeks so I missed a lil bit of #camprevpit. I also haven’t read my feedback from my buddies on my first five pages… not because I’ve been too busy but because I’ve been too anxious 😅 My buddies are so lovely but I’m still anxious 🤣
When I was getting my yearbook signed in 6th year in High School (senior year) I asked my English teacher to sign it. She was my favourite teacher (shocking, I know) We studied Romeo and Juliet and she asked my favourite quote, so that she could write that in… (1/2)
I don’t know if I’m just “at a certain age” or what, but I struggle to understand Discord… which sucks because I can see that so many lovely writers are using it but I just can’t figure it out 😮💨 (more tech savvy people than me might wonder what there is to figure out 🤣)
I got to DM for two first time players of D&D this weekend. They had never played before but wanted to after seeing Stranger Things. Nerve-wracking as that’s a high bar and they’re not going to be doing all the cool stuff that experienced players are. But they enjoyed it and will play again - yay!!
I’m definitely a pantser. Before I start writing, I have an idea of what I’m going to write and may even write it down but then when I start to write, it somehow goes in a completely different direction 🤣
#RevPitWaiting for Wednesday, 4/8: Tell us a little about your writing process! Do you discovery write, plan every detail, or a mix of the two?
I’ve played D&D for the past three days in a row, it’s like a dream come true 😍 … I get the feeling that only the people who play D&D and have felt the sting of the BBEG “scheduling conflicts” will know what I’m talking about 🤣
Since I put forward my MG Fantasy for #revpit I have a couple of Rick Riordan’s novels to catch up on! Apart from those, I’m looking forward today tackling Onyx Storm (I didn’t want to start reading until she was working on the sequel 😂)
#RevPitWaiting for Tuesday, 4/7: Share your best and/or most anticipated reads of 2026!
I could list so many authors here. If I enjoy their book, I love them! Meg Cabot’s style influenced the way I wrote my 3 YA books, so she is up there. I’d read a shopping list if SJM wrote it. Milly Johnson is a new love as I just feel like her books are a warm hug. Jenny Nimmo, Rick Riordan…
#RevPitWaiting for Thursday, March 26: Who are your favorite authors and why? Have any of them been a source of inspiration for you?
I don’t have a theme song or playlist for my book, but since I imagine my Miles falling into a JRPG specifically, I think the music from Dragon Quest would work 😂
#RevPitWaiting for Tuesday, March 24: Do you have a theme song or a playlist for your book? Share it with us! 🎶
The Dark Curse MG Fantasy I’m not that great at moodboards, but I gave it a shot!
#RevPitWaiting for Thursday, March 19: Give us your vibes, aesthetics, gifs for your #revpit MS. Do you have a book trailer? Don’t forget ALT text! ✍️
Miles has just gone “into” his video game for the first time, and is still taking it all in. The Dark Curse, MG Fantasy.
The #WIPSnips word for March 19th is "addition" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
My #RevPit book is a MG Fantasy, where a grieving teenager falls into the world of his favourite video game. There’s action, adventure, magic, friendship, betrayal, love, loss, and lots of fun for Miles and his companions. Dungeons and Dragons with your friends vibes (dragon included).
#RevPitWaiting for Tuesday, March 17: Tell us about your #RevPit book! The heart, the vibes, the tropes! If you wish, include age range and genre to find others like you 🦋
I’m seeing in the #RevPitWaiting posts that there are several D&D players in the #writingcommunity ! I’m curious - are you all forever DMs like me, or do you actually get to play? If so, tell me about your character 😍
I’m Nikki, beyond books, I love Dungeons and Dragons, as well as other board games, and would play all day if I could! 🎲 No pets, but around 40 houseplants that get spoken to and tended to like they are 😂
#RevPitWaiting for Monday, March 16: Share whatever you want about yourself! Hobbies, passions, work, family. An intro to the friendships we’re going to make! 3/3
Just submitted my form for #RevPit with only about 12 minutes to spare 😮💨 Good luck to all who enter!
I put a bird feeder in my garden last weekend and it had its first visitors today 🥹 I also learned that they won’t have used it before now because it takes them so long to trust new things in their environment 😭 clever birdies.
Diving into the querying trenches again, wish my luck! 🤿
#Booksky Please share a photo of a bookshop - whether it’s your favourite, your local, or a beautiful one near you! Let’s have a lovely bookish feed!
I just went to the bathroom to powder my nose, and I looked in the mirror and said, ‘Ethel, you’ve been here for nearly forty years and they couldn’t even get you vol-au-vents for your retirement party, why did you waste all of that time?’ I love this from my current WIP 😅
It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 51? If you haven’t gotten to that page, how about a post from page 5 instead? #writesky #booksky 📚 🪐 💙
You know you’re an adult when your group chat consists of discussions about the wind and if you should take in your wheelybin in case the recycling blows down the street 😂🙈
