Hello #CRPGlasswings ! For camp, I'll be working on a major revision for my novel about a false seer bonded to a phoenix who elevates an unwilling queen with Tourette to the throne. It's a slow-burn romance as they navigate relationships, healing, and betrayal. Will also be outlining a new project!

Same. It's rough, but the important thing is to keep moving forward. Take a moment to feel, then keep going. This odds game is 90% persistence and hard work.

That makes sense. I think I'm in the second stage as I've done the first with so many books. This is my 10th manuscript, but I'm still trying to learn how to write things that are marketable.

"The sound of armored footsteps clattering on the road below didn't frighten her. Birds scattered from the trees with harrowing screeches at such a terrible noise, their flight shockingly violent. Perhaps Isolde should have paid more attention to the birds." #1stLinePit #q #ya #f #querying

Struggling with my query letter because the MCs first conflict (resolved early on in the story) is important context for the larger conflict/premise. Don't know if I'm taking up too much of the query letter with it or if it's misleading since it's resolved quickly. #revpit

Poll: Out of these 4 titles, which sounds most compelling for a YA/NA fantasy? A Sacred Thing Ablaze, The Seer Sacred, The Seer Ablaze, or The Sacred One Ablaze

Absolutely! I know at this point I'm not going to win just because my query letter / first pages have undergone so much revision during #revpit 😅, articulating my vision much better now, but I have seen lots of great advice and been able to have valuable interactions with amazing fellow authors!!

Such a good point and something I'm realizing! I've been drafting novels since I was 13, but this is the first time I'm querying + working so balancing creative joy and revision without burning myself out is a skill I'm learning! It's important to remember I do this for the love of it! #RevPit

I'm about to dive in to 2 new projects because I'm burning myself out with the querying process and need to keep the creativity flowing! One is the sequel to my #RevPit novel with focuses on a different MC. I have it outlined but it's from years ago. Much has changed! Title teaser: The Air's Beloved

The Seer Sacred is if the cleverness of Queen of Attolia got crossed with the loyal dynamics of BBC's Merlin and had a baby whose cries sounded like Evocatio by Nothing But Thieves, The Prophecy by Taylor Swift, and cult leader by KING MALA! #unhingedpit #revpit #writingcommunity #amquerying
