Coming back from a busy weekend to join in on this #camprevpit prompt.

When a picture of Andi in her sports bra at practice goes viral, she begins to get strange messages. If she can’t uncover who’s behind this, her first year at college might be her last.

#VillainVoices #CampRevPit #CRPBees
My “villains” would say it’s about an attention seeking girl that only plays boy’s lacrosse to get a guy finally being kicked out of the sport and finding a sport that is more suited for her.
𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟰: #VillainVoices
Good morning, #CampRevPit! Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight.
What would 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 say your book is about?

They [the boys on her lacrosse team] always respected me more if I could hang with them, if I were the ‘cool’ girl. I call it my Superman persona. It’s a little backwards since Superman had to act bumble g as Clack Kent. Bumbling Andi isn’t my alter ego, it’s my true self.

#camprevpit #CRPBees I’m at the top of the mountain. I finished my first draft (pushed myself to do so to submit to revpit). And now I realize that I still have to get back to the bottom—EDITS! I’m not sure what my MS needs, though I do know it needs edits
DAY 2 #𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗠𝗮𝗽
Hope your first night by the fire sparked your inspiration! 🔥
Today, your manuscript is your map. What stage of your project are you at? Are you lost in the woods? Climbing a mountain? Sailing the seven seas? Use a visual metaphor or a gif, or even draw us a map. #CampRevPit
