Is my WIP unhinged? Probably. Am I excited to start really working on it? Definitely. #YA #DarkFantasy #horror #KissMarryEat
TEXT: The Blood Bride // Kiss, Marry, Eat // This was an honor, I reminded myself as I pressed the tip of the blade between Grandmother’s breast bone. 

PICTURES: smiling with teeth, pomegranate background, ballroom, candles with feast and people's hands.

HIDE x EPISODE 13 x THE HANDYMAN METHOD Ruining the Massacre Mansion TV show is Lissa’s goal: because Hollywood shouldn’t exploit real life death. But the plot goes awry when the mansion begins to thirst for their blood & she realizes that greed doesn’t always take the shape of money. #DVPit #A #H

Cinderella vs. Hannibal Lecter. A poverty stricken hot-head is given the chance for a life of luxury, but she’ll need to figure out who she’s willing to kiss, marry, or kill in order to keep it. #YA #Fantasy #DarkFantasy #Horror #querying

I cannot praise Reverse Outlines or Jeni enough! So worth the $27! I once believed I was a lax-plotter (I mean, I make outlines and do GMC's!), but have come to accept I indeed lean toward pantser, seeing as after my 1st draft, I change everything about my story. 😆 Reverse Outlines are a must.

Some perfectionist misconceptions: Queries must be perfect to send to an agent. FALSE. Polished? Yes. Comps should be exactly like your book. NOPE! Show where your book fits. An agent gave a form response on your last book, so they’re not going to want this one. INCORRECT. #writing

It's good to note, that if you feel STUCK, pause, get outside experienced advice... don't just be like... well, guess I'll just throw it to the query trenches. Not that I've ever done that... #querying #writersblock #writingcommunity #revpit

Ahhhh!!! I have the honor of knowing @jaymiwrites.bsky.social for the past 2.5 years after asking her to go steady when we met on QTCritique and have loved seeing her grow exponentially through each book. Her MG voice is on point. Her characters endearing, and her twisty mysteries so much fun!

This is so important. Professional jellies do not go away when you sign with an agent. They just change. The friends you make when you are querying are often the same ones sitting next to you on panels—and on sales lists. Support now means blurbs for your book later! substack.com/@zillawrites...

Hello #CampRevPit campers and #CRPSparkleSkunks! With #ABCPit going on, be sure to properly vet those who ask for your pages or request to swap. If they're offering to read your pages in exchange for money or other services, that is a red flag.

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today's prompt is #MoodboardTwist: Share a moodboard that gives off the vibes of your plot twist.
On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the firefly clings to a branch and dangles a tied stack of story notes from a  stick with the label “Darlings” written on the top page. The caterpillar reaches for the tied bundle of notes with mouth wide open, ready to chow down. Behind the tree, which still has bite marks from the caterpillar’s previous meal, the mantis holds her claws to her face in dismay. Dawn is beginning to tint the horizon red. The image has the text: Day 10 MoodboardTwist

🥾 🏕️ WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF QUERY BOOTCAMP 🏕️ 🥾 Why is a synopsis important? It shows you can write a complete story that doesn’t take any awkward turns or have any giant plot holes. It also shows that you’ll deliver on the promise of the premise in your query, so make sure it faithfully represents.
