I recently started baking sourdough, which means I have an additional "family member's" schedule to track. IYKYK. I see why bakers name their starter now. #sourdough

#CRPWizardWasps Sam is an army private who befriends Mia after she's exiled. I love that he guides her through the brutal training years at the military academy. She loves that he helps turn her selfishness into selflessness.

Hi #CRPWizardWasps I'm Michelle. I write sci-fi and fantasy. I'll be revising my first 50 of the MS I've been querying and polishing my query and synopsis before hitting the trenches again. My story is about an exiled highflier who must outsmart an army to return home to the boy she loves.

Mia trades golden luxury for a soldier's stripes to find a coup she is falsely connected to before perpetrators assassinate Earth's Prime Minister and unleash global war, displacing her from her former life and the boy she loves forever. #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #A #SF

After recieving emails from all three of my #revpit editors. I am blown away by the fact that my MS 'The Unsainted' was not only considered but made a short list and a long list! It's not an official win but still a WIN in my books ❤️❤️❤️

The War of Art by @stevenpressfield.bsky.social is an amazing fount of inspiration for all creatives that borders on philosophical. It's a brilliant kick in the pants that every writer needs in their arsenal. You'll never look at the word "resistance" the same again. #RevPitwaiting

A tabulator's job is never easy, but when you're in charge of a spy, it's downright diabolical. "My asset went missing, Prime Minister." "Again?" "I filed a report and instituted mandatory overwatch. Here's the brief." "Find her." #UnhingedPit #A #SF #Q

As an avid book signing attendee, authors shine or fade for me by how they interact with fans. Pierce Brown (author of the Red Rising series) shines. And his books are awesome. Win win. I have lots of favorite authors but he tops the list. #RevPitwaiting
