Guys, I’m speechless. Gonna be sharing this award with my 8-year-old since this poem was inspired by their question “why do we never see fireflies in the winter?” Huge thanks to the Ignyte organizers, all the voters/readers, and to @thedeadlands.com for giving this one a wonderful home!

Do you need a prologue? #WritingTips #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor #BookCommunity
The majority of the background is a solid white. On the top left corner of the graphic, there is some dark blue background and in front of that is a golden robotic raven with jade accents. The company logo is on the bottom right corner and it's a lightbulb standing on top of an open book. The text reads, “Prologues aren’t inherently bad, but a lot of authors use them to ‘cheat’ – revealing important information all at once, rather than hinting at it to build intrigue.”

my late day 6 post for the #revpit showcase countdown, haha! how i started writing: i don't really have a glamorous origin for writing. i started out writing guro fic as a kid. in hindsight, it was likely because i grew up in a really bad and violent neighborhood and used writing as an outlet.

#revpit showcase countdown day five! i'm late tho lmao. highkey forgot bc i was watching the knicks game 😅 i have a lot of favorite lines from wretched, but this one gets a laugh out of me every time
graphic of a beige background with some text on it. red borders on the top and the bottom. text has three paragraphs with the first and third paragraph nearly fading into the background and the second paragraph in red. text reads

"What are you doing, why do you keep doing that?" Diosanto had the gall to sound exasperated with her.

"I'm trying to activate every single mental illness I have at once," Leia said. "Hoping it'll somehow cancel out my experience of reality and render me catatonic, even for just a single second."

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, or however that quote went. In Leia's case, it was better to have gone into a one-second coma and know true peace than to get the full brunt of her present situation.

Footer at the bottom has the title "Wretched Geniuses"

I want to clarify that #RevPit #10Queries is not the same as the top 10. Editors pick subs for 10Queries based on feedback that can benefit any writer. There may be overlap with top picks, but it's necessarily not a direct correlation. Several of my shortlist were not in my 10Queries and vice versa.
