One of the things I love most about my worldbuilding is the isolated pockets of civilization that have had enough time separated by wastelands to develop completely unique cultures, and thus, stories. Perfect for a series of standalones! #CRPBrimstone #CampRevPit

Our #CRPbrimstone daily prompt for today goes really well with #CampMyth (at least in my case! Haha) My favourite thing is the Gods, myths and magic in my world. It's just SO fun to think about (do I sometimes use it as an excuse to procrastinate on writing? Maybe, maybe not...we'll never know🤭)

!! Super late to this prompt !! I initially wasn’t going to share since this is still a WIP (half of Sanjiin’s personality aka projected glowing fists are missing) but my friend convinced me to share anyway. I’m dang proud of how this is turning out ☺️ #revpitwaiting

Everyone do yourselves a favor and get yourselves some beta readers who are as honest, supportive, and serious about the craft as @katevwrites.bsky.social @aswiftauthor.bsky.social @alexishatcher.bsky.social @jgiordano.bsky.social & @giannagirone.bsky.social Day 15 #revpitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting day 15! With #revpit 10queries starting to pop up, this is a great chance to give a shoutout to someone who helped you with your QP or MS! Did anyone post their query on r/pubtips? Do you have any great beta readers or critique partners? Resources to share?

3/31 - CP Shoutout. Is there anyone that played an important role in getting your manuscript ready for #RevPit? Give them a shoutout!

Ah project ALBE 🖤 Currently redrafting my YA fantasy/mythical tale about how a maidservant became a god. Day 12 #revpitwaiting

#RevPitWaiting Day 12! #RevPit peeps!! I'm so excited for this one! I find that the best way to reduce querying anxiety or just anxiety about a book in general is to work on something else, so my writing joy is not hinged on a single project. Do any of you have other WIPs cooking? 🧑‍🍳 👀

3/28 - Other WIPs. Are there any other WIPs you have/are working on? Share some more about them! Moodboards are welcome

Multi POV: Prof. Tinley (55) is tired of the magical elite’s BS and is going to find a scientific solution to the storm even if it hurts his already small ego. Archie (29) can’t summon magic yet makes a living through magic shows. Just not enough to bail his sister from jail. #RevPutWaiting 1/2

Day 3 of #RevPitWaiting! #RevPit main character(s) introduction time! You can make your intro as broad or as specific as you want. Tell us nice interests or their deepest fears. Anything you wish to share to make us fall in love (or hate) with them!

3/19 - MC Intro. Single POV? Dual? Multi? Introduce your main characters to us! 👯‍♂️

I’m so excited to volunteer for the 2025 Chesapeake Writing Workshop on Saturday, March 22! I attended last year and left full of enthusiasm and actionable ideas. Very happy to be able to give back this time around and meet fellow writers ☺️ #ChesapeakeWW

UPROOTED x NAUSICAÄ 🪲 A naïve natural historian in desperate need of a guide through the cursed forest. 🌌 A non-binary rogue who will do anything to rescue their family. 👀 A plot to trap the rogue brings them together. ❤️ Their hearts will draw them closer. #WSPit #WSPitQ #A #F #LGBT

A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”

Getting back into the flow of writing is not easy, but two things I ask myself always help: 1. What needs to happen and how can I make it more exciting/interesting? and 2. How can I make this character shine in this scene? Also not spending more than 5 min on one sentence/phrase 👍

Ariadne X LNatTC Aia is dutiful to gods and family (even when they’re cruel) ✨ but her loyalty to the Temple is tested when her death is demanded to appease the desert deities💧☀️ she escapes to bargain her life with the gods ☁️ and decides if her life is worth another’s 🏜️ #P2Ppit #YA #W #F

ACOMAF x ONE DARK WINDOW Tamlin versus Rhysand, except one is the playful lead scientist of the desert magic drought 🏜️ and the other is the enigmatic, sharp-eyed immortal who bends magic to his will 💫 Who is truly helping Ocelia heal her brother...and who is obstructing her? #P2Ppit #Q #RF #F #YA
