I can see the end of Part 3 of this novel coming together. Yes, I still have Part 4 ahead, but that Part is for future Adam. Current Adam is keyed into these last four chapters of Part 3.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie Special thanks to our counselor @goodwords.bsky.social for keeping our cabin involved. Thanks to all my cabinmates, with a shoutout to @salazar-ro.bsky.social @lnloft.bsky.social @brookbwrites.bsky.social for swaps. I look forward to reading more from you all.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie I'll go with, which bit of writing advice has stuck with me most? Answer: Writing is rewriting. There's a reason writing is done in drafts. You can't--and won't--get everything right on the first go-through. Like with everything, writing improves bit-by-bit.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie #GifRevisions I desperately want to post my answer to a similar question from last year. But I'll go with this instead.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie My current WIP has weird inky monstrosities, but my previous novel was based on Greek mythology and had a few riffs on creatures like a chimera and Cerberus. I also love zombie stories, especially when a novel can utilize the undead in new ways.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie I do the same as a few cabinmates have already said: get outside for a walk to give myself time to think. I also bounce ideas off my wonderful wife who's kind enough to read everything I write and help me brainstorm.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie, no wait! #CRPDryads My inky WIP changes from its epic fantasy to a true inked-up horror. All the blotting monsters terrorize the characters in new ways as they look to rewrite the world in their own image. None are safe from their staining ways!

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie I'll go with She Who Rides the Storm. The characters from my WIP are dealing with some similarly shady gods that manipulate from behind the scenes. Also, Dalmara, Hadina, and Zekk would all be down for diving into a tomb in search of an old artifact.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie I decide on the majority of my worldbuilding ahead of time, but let ideas evolve as I write. Regarding characters and plotlines on the other hand, I go full pantser.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie For Dalmara? Outdoors, and preferably asea. She was practically raised on the water and references ships WAY too much. She's a pretty decent swimmer, too.

#CampRevPit I get to reference our #CRPnessie prompt from yesterday regarding treats. "A fitting dessert for the evening--bitterly disappointing; sweet chocolate ruined by a hidden inside she should have sniffed out before sinking her teeth in."

Adam Aguilar @araguilar.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
#CampRevPit #CRPnessie Callaire would gladly accept a s'more, and he'd do it with an obnoxious smirk on his face. He's a noble who loves being waited on. Especially if it's coming from Dalmara. From Dalmara's side? She can rarely be found NOT giving out treats. It's kind of her thing.

#CampRevPit #CRPnessie First day of camp! And remembering from last year, it goes by so fast. I love epic and adventure fantasies and will be bringing along books that deeply inspired my own writing: Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Golden Compass (Northern Lights), and The Shadow Rising (WoT 4).

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone Been working on an old project the past week and figured out a new opening chapter. Not exactly a new thing I learned about my MC for that novel, but hopefully a better way to introduce them to a reader! Special thanks to @kjsilver.bsky.social for being a great counselor!

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone Even though they'd be dangerous, maybe the lukodans? They are basically giant two-headed wolves. That's twice the good boy in one animal.

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone It has to be figuring out the interplay between the different magics of the world. Each person was only meant to have one ability, but when they have more, they combine in strange ways. Creating those new abilities is a ton of fun.

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone Nireus doesn't just want to destroy the gods, he wants to replace them. Unfortunately, that means going through his former friends. They don't understand their oppression. He'll show them. And if he can't, he'll just have to destroy them too. The world only needs one god.

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone Phaerus hates that so many people alter the myths just to entertain the crowds. After all, what's the point in passing down the stories if they're going to be changed?

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone I think I have to choose Cleadi. He's the best friend of my MMC who would rather make silly bets about anything and everything instead of being so serious all the time like Vetrias.

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone Pulling from my most recent WIP instead of my CRP novel, but it's got to be the little wolf that follows my main character around. He's just learning to understand humans and can't tell the difference between a trade and a promise.

#CampRevPit #CRPbrimstone I've met a few people from the cabin already. I'm an epic fantasy writer who enjoys multi-POV stories with tons of magic. Though the last project I drafted, I gave a crack at a single POV story that's closer to adventure fantasy than epic.

Introducing my new wip! Hopefully debuting next year. It’s about the power of language, friendship, and bread. Oh, and there’s aliens! Everything a hot motion picture needs! #Posterpitw #mg #sf #posterpit
A movie poster style image. A teal hexagonal grid across the top faded into a wood grain. At the bottom on the wood is baking ingredients: a pitcher of milk, a rolling pin, eggs, a bundle of cinnamon sticks, a bowl of flour. At the top in white is “Briana (Bri), Alexander  (Lex), Heather (no nickname). The center text in white: Recipe for Rebellion. Below that: “Coming Soon” with the soon exed our with a red x and the word “eventually” in its place. Below that: She just wanted to read her grandma’s recipe.
Instead, she uncovered a conspiracy that would change the world.

4 Chosen ones from different lands discover they are on the same quest to restore the broken crystal. Each one wants to do things their way, but if they don’t join forces, there will be no home for any of them to return to. #Posterpitq #mg #f #posterpit
A poster style image. A green background. At the top in gold it reads: The Four Heroes of the Broken Crystal”. In the center is a round white crystal with shatter lines. Break lines split off from it making an x that divided the poster into four sections  on the top is a sillouette of a boy kneeling in prayer, next a sillouette of a girl holding a bow, next a silhouette of a boy reading with a dagger next to him, then a silhouette of a girl swinging a sword. At the bottom in white text: “4 lands. 4 heroes. One crystal. Can they learn to work together before it’s too late?”

A movie poster style image. The background is a dirt path through the woods with trees in either side. 3 lines that look like tears divide it diagonally into four sections. At the top is black stripe with names in white: Lana, Gian, Tamara, Micah. Under each name is an image: crown, praying hands, sword, open book. In the center is the title “The Four Heroes of the Broken Crystal” in gold. Below that in black is the text: “They each thought they were alone.
But when a mysterious force brings them together, they have to decide:
Make their own way and be the hero?
Or work together and save their world?” At the bottom in white it says “querying now”
