FINALLY sharing some of my FMCs description - two noses are being described here though in today's #WIPSnips from #Beduäfan

oooohhhhh we've got a little baby "who hurt you" trope that ties into today's #WIPSnip

The tension is building in #Beduäfan 🔥

I *could* have posted the obvious and gone for a broad shoulders mention (is it a romantasy without at least one set?) BUT the #WIPSnips words lately have been very conducive to ship snips! Today we are setting course on a broad reach on The Avontuur

First time sharing something from this scene, but I feel like I never share any of the actual pirate vibes of #Beduäfan (at let me say, they are there!)

Today's #WIPSnip is stand, and I'm using it in the context of "stand by" aka get your a**es in line lads, sh*t is about to go down!

This entire book is one big adventure, but I do have a few instances of the actual word "adventure". This is one of my favourite scenes in the whole dang thing....and maybe were things start to change for our (anti?) heroine.

I present to you todays #WIPSnip from #Beduäfan - querying in October 🧡

I had quite a few "recent" options for today's #WIPSnip, however almost all of them gave away huge spoilers. So here is a mini spoiler to tease you on some of the romance that goes down in #Beduäfan

It's obscene. I've not posted a #WIPSnips in four months....don't ask me how but I'm gonna say it was the summer travel season & planning a wedding.
Anyways, I'm jumping back in with out even the same word (razor) but shave has the same vibes, right? Right. #Beduäfan #WIP #FantasyAuthor #Romantasy

Fake agency alert: Dan Baror International Literary Agency, obviously trying to trick writers into believing they're being contacted by Baror International Inc. (a real agency). The About Us page has been "borrowed", in re-worded form, from the real Baror website danbaror-intliteraryagency.com

Winners and runners up will be announced here on Bluesky and editors will email their individual winners afterward.

Even if not chosen, keep an eye on your email for possible ten queries info!

And stay tuned here for more upcoming fun 👀 #RevPit
Curiously wondering how #revpit winners are announced. Is there a post first, does the winner get a quick email prior or should we be obsessing over the refresh button on Monday?

@reviseresub.bsky.social

This has been an epic contest and I’m so sad it’s close to ending!! ❤️‍🩹

We've got a lil yearning man over here. I'm obsessed with this entire passage (before and after) from my WIP #Beduäfan - today's #WIPSnips is TRIP #WIP #WriteSky #FantasyAuthor

Here is a little bit of a tender moment between Moira and....someome in #beduäfan 😉 for today's #WIPSnips of "CRY"
April 9, 2025 at 5:44 PM
I am shopping for an iron & ironing board for our Air Bnb - we spent a LOT (more than i am willing to admit) on our personal iron & board bc my fiancé is VERY particular about his ironing (lol) but for one that is going to be beat to all hell I wanted to get a cheapo...this doesn't exist!

Moira loves to be moody, especially when she can talk down about herself. Our antisocial lass has to build up the courage to talk to her friends...tbh I think many of us can relate to that. While I had a few of "scene"s in my MS, I particularly enjoyed this one #Beduäfan #WriteSky #WIPSnips #A #F

A Recipe for Love, Maybe

✅1 pining pro-QB
✅1 jilted sports-hating artist
✅1 charity auction & matchmaker grandma
✅1 damning sketchbook full of QB & his hands
✅1 meddling ex
✅1 stadium-sized prob

Will this love bloom like Monet water lilies or will there be a flag on the play?

Whoopsie! The dark academia conservatory you applied to is actually a big hater of pink.

Double whoopsie! The girl you want to seduce completely hates you.

Triple whoopsie! The conservatory has a secret society that wants you out of your crush's way!

Two endearingly messy women search the globe for endearingly messy people who can work together to survive on Mars and TV, but the only people they can agree to launch into space is the techbro showrunner making their lives miserable.

So… Jelani kills her girlfriend’s king, gets reported and attacked by said girlfriend, and now has to lead her siblings on a journey to try and stop a war. Is she the a**hole or is she just misunderstood?
