Can I just say #revpit editors emailing those of us that didn't make it are wonderful angels? When I wasn't picked it was easy to stop believing in my writing/book. Validation should come from within and all but alas I am human. Then to find out I made a longlist and 2 shortlists?? HUGE THANK YOU 😭❤️

I'm more than halfway through my second to last edit before querying! i.e. I'm on my way down the mountain and the finish line is in sight if you squint. I'll have to double back around with my weedwhacker to cut a bunch of unnecessary words though 😅

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

#RevPitWaiting Day T-4
This is my FAVORITE prompt #RevPit!
Editors have been so kind & helpful with 10 queries (even posting more than is required!)
And I also think WE have the capacity to help each other be better writers. So let's share 🤗

I’m a mix of both, a plantser! I like to get going with a light outline to start. It’s very general with not much detail, more of a guideline to follow that is very flexible. Then I discovery write on the many parts the outline doesn’t cover

#RevPitWaiting Day 24!
I might've pulled another switcheroo... There was a slight miscalculation on my part and I hadn't anticipated that virtually everyone talked about their hobbies in their personal intro.
So #RevPit ... the dreaded question:

Among Us inspi' Sci-Fi Horror
A last ditch space expedition is thrown together to save a dying Earth using resources from an abandoned underwater planet, but a sabotaged ship and shapeshifting goop monster onboard hijack the mission 👀

Day 5 #revpitwaiting #revpit
Hard to pick but I settled on one of my first few favorites in Act 1. For context, Alyss confronts the ex that's tasked with stopping her revenge.

Day 4 #revpitwaiting:
Did I have 3 other moodboards I already made for my #revpit book I could've used? Yes. Did I make a 4th moodboard because it's fun and totally not an addiction? Also yes.
I was trying to capture the vibe my book has of "pops of color in a dark gritty setting" 🤔

Day 3 #Revpitwaiting:
Meet Alyss! She's a 26-year-old black American with Trinidadian roots. Part party-girl, part hitman with a machete, she's a disaster and a half, and I love her 😭

My #revpit sub is a Kill Bill inspi' reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. A black Alice crashes down the rabbit hole of revenge after the paranormal shroom drug lords who killed her parents. 🔪

Hey #revpit! I’m Abby and this is my first year submitting!
I write some blend of SFF/H with black FMCs in stories that always have a bit of heart and a bit of bite. Love to game, love nature/gardening, and my fav timesuck is watching YouTube 😆

Hi #revpit!
This is a totally community-made game that I thought might be fun while we’re waiting!
I’ll post more explanations every day which you can QT if you’d like. Maybe we can make some long-lasting book friends on the way and keep company while #revpitwaiting!
