Any tips for getting out of a long term writing slump??
Writing community, I come to you for advice yet again. I got a full request after getting an R&R from another agent. I asked if they’d like to see the OG manuscript, or the R&R when it’s ready. How long do I wait to hear back before sending off the OG?
In the past week, after months of silence, I’ve received a free full developmental edit, become a RevPit finalist, gotten an R&R, and a full request. To say I’m freaking out is an understatement!!

Might not have won #RevPit, but the email I just received from one of my chosen editors about being one of their finalists made the experience even more worth it!!
Seconding this!!

so anyone else reading the #Revpit #10queries and thinking you really want to read everyone’s wips? 👀
Hoping to keep querying my manuscript, WILDERWOOD, and try to finish the first draft of my WIP by June.
A. M. Bucsaru is AGENTED@ambucsaru.bsky.social · last yr.#RevPitWaiting T-3 Even after #RevPit winners are announced, our writing journeys are far from over. We'll still be walking down our paths, just with upgraded tools thanks to the editors & our community. So what's next for you?
Such a pantser. Trying to make the switch, because the editing phase on my last novel is never ending because of it, but outlining has never quite clicked for me.
A. M. Bucsaru is AGENTED@ambucsaru.bsky.social · last yr.#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:
When you see a #revpitteaser that is TOTALLY yours (i’m not delusional I swear!!)

Just discovered #RevPitTeaser and I’m hooked. And also slightly terrified.

Jeni Chappelle@jenichappelle.bsky.social · 2y ago#RevPitTeaser So, every year there are some unexpected trends, and based on my very limited sample, one seems to be trees? Like, there are a lot of stories that heavily feature trees. Which is cool! And not something I would've expected!
A current favourite
A. M. Bucsaru is AGENTED@ambucsaru.bsky.social · 2y agoWelcome back #revpit! I hope the weekend treated you well and that you're reading for day 8 of #revpitwaiting!

Just queried an agent I have a very good feeling about! 🤞
One of the first moodboards I ever made and shared for the project, but still one of my favourites!
A. M. Bucsaru is AGENTED@ambucsaru.bsky.social · 2y agoDay 4 of #RevPitWaiting! Vibes and aesthetics timmeeee!!!! If you don't have a moodboard made already, I'd recommend LiveCollage (Free on app store), Canva, and Pinterest for inspo. Both Canva and LiveCollage can make moodboards with gif elements if you're looking for some ✨extra✨ features! #RevPit
Hey fellow RevPitters! I’m a writer who can’t pick a lane and has far too many WIPs brewing. Beyond that, I’m a reader and like to bake. My dog is my #1 co-author.
A. M. Bucsaru is AGENTED@ambucsaru.bsky.social · 2y agoDay 1 of #revpitwaiting! Personal Intro! You can QT each post with your answers or make a whole thread pinned to keep answers together. But let’s kick off the fun and make some friends!
When Quinton finds a dead body being devoured by a forest, he becomes a suspect in the murder. To clear his name, he must find the true killer. But as the forest begins growing within him, he questions if he’s as innocent as he’s trying to prove. #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #LuckyPit
TRULY, DEVIOUS X DON’T LET THE FOREST IN An amateur sleuth who can control ghosts accidentally becomes a prime suspect in a murder. Now, he must catch the killer before more students die. #LuckyPit #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #YA #FM
It means I’m going to get rejected on a full. Fair to say this did not age well.
