Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight. What would they say your story is about? Pitch it from your villain's perspective. #VillainVoices

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. Day 4: #Villain Voices

#CRPNightcrawlers #CampRevPit The theme of the monsters in my MS is vampiric and more specifically things that "feed" off of humanity. Which goes from your average typical vampire, to the Starved Ones and the death-gods. But it also includes the system that these monsters thrive in. 1/2 🧵

Good morning, #CRPNightcrawlers! Is it just me or is it getting a little heebie jeebie in here? Reminder, our first cabin sprint is happening TODAY from 2-4pm EDT in the cabin feed! #CampRevPit

April 23 Day Four Daily prompt What is the monster in your current WIP? Are they a creature, a person, or even a cosmic force?

"Five years of the service on the Wall gave one a sense of immunity, of invincibility. Her superior officer called it reckless stubbornness." Page 1, Paragraph #2. Pretty much Val in a nut shell 😅 #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️Let's start the day with your main character! Use #OneLineMC and share a line from your manuscript that tells us all we need to know about your MC’s personality.

On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, #OneLineMC

Give me every scream, terror and nightmare to crawl across the page or screen as long as it's got an amazing hook! But if I had to pick it'd be Cosmic Horror. The existential dread that comes up in those stories is literally to die for. Top Films are: The Endless and The Void! #CRPNightcrawlers

This is my road map of what I need/want to get done by when. I'm a little behind (only by a day) but all that green? Well that's stuff I have already smashed my way through 🧨💥 (in a week and a bit) #campmap #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today, please draw us your #CampMap: Use a visual metaphor to describe where you are with your project. Are you lost in the woods? Climbing a mountain? Sailing the seven seas?

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: Day 2: #CampMap

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ Let's kick off #CampRevPit with some introductions! Use #CampKickoff to tell us a bit about yourself and what you're working on. Pitch it in any way, shape, or form.

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. The following text is on the picture: Day 1: #CampKickOff

When 16-year-old Nia picks the wrong pocket, she unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had. Now she’s posing as an heiress, a con man’s gone missing, and Nia and her friends are on the run with a living doll, pursued by gangs, magehunters, and the governor herself. #BluePit #YA #A #F #LGBT #W

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing: 1. Always have an escape plan. 2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud. 3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark. 4. Never get involved with golems. The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right: A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs. B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow. C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards. D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn. E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment. F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game. G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks. H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.
