If you’ve had conflicting advice, don’t recognize your story, or you’re stuck moving paragraphs around, you may have revised too much. Step away from it. Save deleted scenes and even former drafts in a separate folder in case you need some of it when you come back to your story. #writingcommunity

This amazing drawing sums up CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS FOR LONELY HEARTS. #UnhingedPit #AmAlmostQuerying
A sketch of two people standing in front of a fume hood. On the left, a woman in a lab coat and safety glasses has her hands on her hips. She's glaring at the man, who is very tall and skinny. His arms are crossed and he stares at her impassively. He's wearing normal glasses and has a bit of a beard.

In the fume hood, red liquid is exploding out of an Erlenmeyer flask on a hotplate. In the air it turns into little hearts.

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.”

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ On #TropeSunday, tell us what tropes are in your story (on purpose or by accident). Which ones are you embracing, subverting, or reimagining? Drop a fun graphic if you're up for it! 😉
On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, Day 7: #TropeSunday

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write. Day 4: #Villain Voices

Daily Prompt: Introductions
Fantasy Genre covers a lot of ground, so let’s play pick a side!

Plotter or Pantser?
Tragic or HEA?
Fantasy or SciFi?
Romance Subplot or None?
Horror Elements or Cozy?
Black Cat or Golden Retriever?
Introvert or Extrovert?

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.
