It's #AceWeek so a little teaser for the book I hope to send on sub soon, in which two co-stars in a high budget comic book adaptation fight the straightwashing of a canonically ace character... and their feelings for each other.

Utah is getting a map that has a strong chance to flip a house seat blue!
A district court judge has thrown out the gerrymandered map the legislature proposed and chosen a map that meets the law's anti-gerrymandering standards.

Just remembered the time my sister asked me what the range was and I was like the range of what and she started singing Home on the Range.

Hey #MockPit -- a couple things I'm seeing:
1. we don't need the title in the pitch
2. make sure you learn and include the standard genre and age category abbreviations. this doesn't super matter for mockpit but does for pitch events!
Y'all are killing it with the aesthetics

Teen heartthrob Nolan struggles with off-script conversations.
Former tween star Phoebe can't escape the tabloids.
When they're cast as LIs in a superhero comic adaptation, they'll fight the straight-washing of a canonically ace character.
And their feelings for each other.

I started #MockPit a literal decade ago on Twitter, when there was still a 140 character limit. Publishing has changed a lot since then, and I discontinued the event a few years ago as a lot of pitch contests started to fold.
I couldn't be more excited that #RevPit is bringing it back.

Just finished Love is a War Song by Danica Nava (Chickasaw) and loved it as much as her debut.
The heroines of both books are messy and flawed in really real and relatable ways. And the chemistry is off the charts. Both great options for Indigenous Peoples Month reads.

I know a lot of groups are trying to capture some of what NaNoWriMo offered, but I think #RevPit is really helping recapture the community aspect of the event. And also just doing so much to rebuild the online writing community post-Twitter.

We have this family recipe for a "felonious cheese ball" and I've always known it was because we got the recipe from a felon. Found out tonight apparently she stole from *our family*
Which kinda makes it funnier. Like yes she robbed us but we WILL be including her recipe in the cook book.

This especially important if you are me responding to feedback that the cute romance scenes aren't leaving enough room for the sideplots and you're determined to build out the sideplots without sacrificing the cute romance scenes.
I think one of best skills you can learn as a storyteller is how to multi-task. Use your scenes to do as much heavy lifting as possible. Create scenarios where you can advance the plot and show off the worldbuilding and highlight character arcs all at once.

This is a poignant coming of age story about a biracial Métis/white demisexual teen.
Jen has such a talent for writing real teens with messy lives, and I also reccommend Those Pink Mountain Nights!
