Writer, sewist, yogi, mom, wife. demi +AuDHD, so expect random posting on all of the above. Or no posting. Or some.
I fully believe that Jeni is the biggest underutilized resource in the industry. I credit her for my ✨22✨ requests after her suggestion for a new first chapter (plus her other notes)!
She’s also just the warmest, loveliest human being and treats every project uniquely. You couldn’t ask for more.

It’s #RevPit day!
The world is on fire, but today the RevPit editors invite you to spend some time honing your craft with us.
Because stories matter. Your story matters.
So. I’m awake and caffeinated and full of querying advice.
And I’m up first with my #10Queries!
Who’s ready?

I almost didn’t send MYTH, MUSE, MAGICIAN to #revpit
And I almost pulled my submission the night before winners were announced. (1)

What I learned from RevPit: plot needs to plot. #revpitclassof25
Tackling story structure head on has been one of the hardest inward evolutions for me as a writer, but also one of the most worthwhile.
Forever thankful for @jenichappelle.bsky.social & #revpit for enduring support in this process📖

I have a secret: writing is revising. And I’ve coached so many writers who used to 😩hate😩 revising, but now they can’t wait to get to the revision stage to get what’s in their head on the page!

I know not everyone knows how to evaluate medical research or policy so let me help you out-
If a paper comes out claiming to have been written by experts in the field, but not a single one puts their name to it, it’s absolute horse shit.
Don’t waste your time.

Real talk—
As much as I love #RevPit (a lot), my personal life made RevPit really hard for me in 2024.
But moving to bsky this year and y’all being so invested has really helped me revive my own spark too. Big thanks to everyone who’s helped us grow + thrive here 🥰😍 💙 📚

Before a 'journey' that I've started is coming to an end, I like reminding myself of what I'm thankful for.
What good things have come from the journey. Things that I wouldn't have had if I didn't put myself out there to possibly experience disappointment.
[pls not me lol]

Oooo, I wanna play!! #RevPitWaiting #RevPets 🧵
I have 3 cats—these first two are Max, the orange rescue, who is nearly 15 yo and a cranky old man, and Shadowcat, the sweetest black 15-year old perpetual kitten.
Max is super cuddly but also tries to dominate the girl cats, who are not impressed.

@cnn.com just a reminder that the guy you have on right now trying to make it sound like the WhiskeyLeaks snafu is not a big deal is the same guy who thinks wildfire aid should be withheld from CA.
BREAKING: Republican Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio says wildfire aid should be withheld until California reforms forestry management.
Here’s a forest management tip: stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere. Longer droughts, fiercer storms, and chaos like firenados and 90MPH flames are the result.

Best of luck to all the #RevPit folks participating this year!! I was lucky enough to be chosen in 2019 and managed to get an agent and get published with that novel, so amazing things can happen, but the connections I made with other writers online during the lead up was a prize all on its own! ❤️
