I don't know if he's a villain but he definitely antagonizes Corrine. Introducing Edwin, Corrine’s "younger" brother. He wants nothing more than to turn her cafe into a night club and reminds her every time he stops by of his plan. #CRPsparkleskunks #camprevpit

I've left the parking lot and I'm making my way down a wide path on a nice leisurely hike to a beautiful look out point. I have a clear map of where I'm going, I just need to walk #camprevpit #revpit #crpsparkleskunks

Good Morning, Campers! I'm Drea! I write urban fantasy stories. I've decided to shelve my revpit book and I'm sharing something new! Vampire Corrine enters a cooking competition to save her diner and falls in love with a human reporter sent to cover the event #campkickoff #camprevpit

Okay! Got feedback from my writing besties about my opening, time to Cozy it up some more before #camprevpit. (But after I write report cards, gotta be responsible)

New book (still working on the pitch): Vampire chef enters a cooking competition to save her diner for supernatural creatures and falls in love with the human reporter covering the competition. #camprevpit #revpit

Signed up for camp #revpit with my new book. But it's weird. Weirder than Bloodless which is a mash up of real world police work and vampires. So maybe there will be a cabin for weird books?

Time to shelve Bloodless for the time being and work on something else. It's bittersweet but I think it's time. #revpit

I'm enjoying the waiting zone. It's been so fun to read so many people's opening pages! You guys are all brilliant writers and you've written a whole book!! I'm excited to follow so many of you on this next part of your journey! ❤️❤️❤️

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Tbh it's fairly infuriating to hear tech people talk about "vibecoding" positively when the past year of software for me has been plagued with shit I need for work seriously breaking in nearly every update

First day back to work after Spring break and I gave my students a multi-day test (open book, open resources, they can google, they can ask me, and they can have extra time at home.) I still feel like a super villain

Even if I don't get any #revpit editor feedback and end up shelving my book like I planned, I'll still have all the friends I met along the way and their comments to keep me going. It's a really positive end to this book's querying journey. #revpitwaiting #amquerying #wip ##writingcommunity

First, I'm not surprised. But second, they probably started the fire as a way to deal with the vampires they are fighting.

Tiger's Eye (16, tortie) and Jasper (almost 2, tabby). They are only this close because Tiger's Eye doesn't know Jasper is in the box. Jasper weighs twice what Tiger's Eye does.
