LYAL earned me a bingo 🙌 This snip is from their mentor/mentee interaction, solidifying their forced proximity. The slow burn is torture as they wait for her to graduate. Bonus: these characters give off Luke & Lorelai vibes ☕️ #CRPBeemine 🐝 & #CRPSirens 🧜‍♀️ #CampRevPit

How fun! I’m currently working on 2 projects, but went with TPP, my RevPit submission. Most of my projects incorporate forced proximity, tension, banter, & a love of caramel lattes 💕 #CRPBeemine 🐝 & #CRPSirens 🧜‍♀️ #CampRevPit

That moment when you give in to completely rewriting a scene vs trying to squish CP comments into what you already have. Sometimes it’s easier & more freeing. But it still takes me a long time to give in 😅 anyone else? #writingcommunity

I’m revising the opening of LYAL (the book #amquerying) & did a read through to ensure consistency with the changes. I hit the scenes at the end of act 2 & into act 3 & wow…I’m glad my writing craft has grown & that I could spot what needed to change. I’m glad I did a reread 🙏 #writingcommunity

The LI gives off a playboy jock attitude but is waiting for someone (the MC) to see & value who he truly is. Once a pro-footballer, his goal is to stay off his dad's radar while working at an island resort where he leads excursions. Fun fact: His boat is named 'Nezuko'. #MayWeDance #WritingCommunity

Besides all my MCs (& let’s be honest, the LIs), for TPP it’d be Izzy. She’s my MC’s bestie. She’s chill, easy to talk to, a great listener & advice giver, always down to hang or try something new. She’s got humor & heart & shared interests. #CRPDamselflies #CampRevPit

Maybe a 5? I plot out the beats with Save the Cat and Romancing the Beat, write about 3 sentences per chapter, add in ARC & relationship development throughout, then pants all the in between. (And sometimes I veer from the outline or need to rewrite bits in draft 2.) #CRPDamselflies #CampRevPit
