Oof, it's only my 1.5st pitch event (and I'm still in Draft Land), but from what I've seen...

Hold no expectations. Have a good time. Make a connection. It's all valuable in the grand scheme of writing.

Meg's afraid of being in the spotlight, getting left behind, and the Nutcracker.

Zack's afraid of being a disappointment, feeling vulnerable, and mirrors in the dark.

In my youth as a fledgling writer-type, I used to thinkandthinkandthink before tornado-ing a first draft that I'd copy edit for typos. Then, I had the hubris to send it off to lit mags, thinking it was a complete work. How silly our younger selves can be, amirite? #amwriting #amediting

Everyone has their own ideas of how to get over a breakup. Kira's usual methods involve time and a lot wine. They do NOT involve hooking up with her ex's super hot next-door-neighbor. But this time, she's willing to do whatever it takes to heal her broken heart.
