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 😭❤️

#camprevpit #CRPfireflies #OneLineMC "Alyss cranked her earbuds up, blocking out the drenched man’s cries for help to concentrate on her favorite part of the dark pop song."

#camprevpit #CRPfireflies 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 😅

#revpitwaiting #revpit 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 Missed a few of these (been sick), gotta catch up 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 👀

Photo collage for a work in progress sci-fi horror book. Text reads: Imposters Among Us. There are nine pictures, some of space (planets, stars, galaxy), some of black goop (on hands, dripping in water, etc.), some of faces (one pointing, another looks ghostly), and one of a dark underwater image.

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.

Image shows text from a book snippet. It reads: He flashed a pocket knife. “I gotta take you back, Alyss. I’m sorry. We can still end this well.”
Her breath was a bitter laugh. “What are you gonna do with that?” She recognized a shallow threat when she heard one and stepped closer in his silence. Her fingers wrapped around his fist. “You don’t remember what you taught me? You pop it here.” She gently pushed the blade against her stomach, then angled it right under the ribs. “Or here.” She took the blade to her throat, gripping him tight as her eyes tore into his. “You want to stop me, that’s what it takes.”

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" 🤔

$Photo collage of a mix of images in either black and white or colorful blue, pink, and purple hues. Images include a close-up of a black panther's face, creepily posed hands with long nails, abstract patterns (one looks like balloons, some look like blurred colorful glitter, one looks like blue and purple smoke, and one looks like a fractal diamond), a teddy bear, wilted flowers, broken glass, one close up image of a black woman's face with eyes closed and eye make-up, one image of a black woman with purple braids throwing her hair back with a smile, and an image of people partying under colorful lights. There is text reading "The Macabre Murders of Alyss Mitchell" at the center.$

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 😭

A character collage for Alyss Mitchell with text. Photo 1: a black woman with purple braids; Photo 2: a dancing crowd; Photo 3: a couple kissing; Photo 4: model wearing a denim outfit, opening denim jacket to reveal black crop top; Photo 5: a group of people (hands only shown) toasting drinks. There are also two small white mushrooms overlaying the center of the photos. An excerpt at the bottom displays a narrative about partying, alcohol, and self-perception.

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 😆

With zero plans to make a bluesky, I’ve now entered chat thanks to #revpitwaiting looking so fun 👀 (aka my #revpit sub won’t have a SM link 😅)
