My childhood neighbourhood has become so gentrified. Where's the bookshop with the perpetually leaky roof? The hair salon that burnt your scalp when they washed your hair? Now it's just full of yummy mummies scouting for cheese and men carting their kids around in baskets on the back of their bikes.

Ugh. Every time I think about the emotional arc I have planned for my MC, I want to cry. Maybe I'm oversensitive. But UGH, it's going to be so painful and so rewarding.

When I worked part-time, I always put aside one day a week to do nothing but write. But my schedule doesn't allow for that anymore and I've struggled to find a rhythm. Happy to receive any advice from busy writers - how do you do it? #CRPSirens

Hey #CRPSirens, I'm Martha, I'm floating on a big rock on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. My book SOMETHING OLD is a second-chance upmarket romance that deals with some heavy issues. I love making people cry. I'm just here for the ride and hope to meet some cool writers.
An ocean wave gently washing onto shore. The text reads: "Under the weight of his gaze, I become sixteen again, clinging to the heat of another body, desperate for the closest thing I can find to love, if not love itself. I know better now than to swallow a lie, but I do it anyway." And: "Something Old".

I don't know if there's anything I can say that hasn't already been said. Only, there's a reason you keep coming back to writing. A reason you keep going despite how hard it is to gain recognition or success. Hold onto that reason and keep on keeping on. #RevPitWaiting

4th revpit! I have gained a life changing community. Not winning can sting, but the community is the balm. I’ve gotten to cheer on many rev alumni get agented and published. I’ve cried reading their words & happy tears over their successes. I’ve told strangers about their books. #revpitwaiting

Crazy plotter here! I usually start with a character flaw/misbelief and work from there. My plans are usually 70+ pages, complete with pictures, MBTIs and story beats. #RevPitWaiting

I love writing older women. In my own life, these women possess great qualities like candour, dry wit and a ton of heart. June is a bit posher than most women I know, but I admire the crap out of her. #RevPitWaiting

My #RevPit book, Anti-Charter Campaign, is a bit of an extreme genre blend. I really love this slide I put together to show some of the comps from different genres, so I'll share that for my wildcard ❤️ #RevPitWaiting
Comps: Roll for Romance, The Grimoire Grammar School PTA, A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, The Lost Bookshop, Minor Dramas & Other Catastrophes, The Faculty Lounge, Up the Down Staircase

Writing is craft. It’s long hours. Frustrating days and weeks. Intense doubt. And moments of pure joy. There’s no shortcut around this and there’s no tech hack to “solve” it. Writing is a human endeavor meant for human consumption.

I realised most of my funny quotes are centred around sex. I blame growing up with Carry On films playing in the background. No sophisticated humour here, sorry. #RevPitWaiting
Text on yellow background reads:
"'You made it!' she cries, as if she was the one to invite me, and not Kian. She stands there in socks, holding a glass of something fizzy to her chest as she ushers me inside. 'You brought scissors, right?'
'No. I didn't realise I had to.'
'Kian told the rest of us to bring scissors.'
The rest? 'What is this? A scissor party?'
'Ha. I wish.'

Something Old"

There isn't ONE, but my most recent favourite is Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason. Not because I share my name with the MC, but because it stirred so many emotions: sorrow, bliss, and a whole bunch in between. #RevPitWaiting

My first attempt at making a moodboard 😱. I'll get better at it, I swear.
A moodboard showing: A young woman drawing a heart into the sand; a stack of muffins; a young couple kissing on the beach; an open book with the pages fanned into a heart shape around two wedding rings; a couple on thr beach at dusk; a scallop shell washed up on the beach. The text reads: Something Old.
