I have seen posts that it is bisexual awareness month and also week. Please confirm how long I am expected to maintain self-awareness for so I can pace accordingly. This is already a significant uptick in bisexual effort from just being visible one day per year. Thanks in advance for your help.

Having one of those months where, if it was fiction, I feel like the writer would be told to tone it down. Like, all this stuff happening at once? Kinda unbelievable. Also, a lot of it is really out of nowhere and doesn't seem to go with the main sources of stress/conflict. Yikes. #WriteSky

Draven Montrose’s world is like a soggy firework: so much potential, so little sparkle. Magic is running out, and so are his dating options.

A portal between worlds and a chance meeting might solve both their problems, if they can make their broken worlds fit together.

For me, part of 'going stale' between writing sessions is imagining the mess I left is worse than it is - that everything is stuck and bad and yucky and I have no idea what to do. Sometimes, a productive writing session is poking about for 30 minutes just to prune back those thoughts. #WriteSky

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️Let's start the day with your main character! Use #OneLineMC and share a line from your manuscript that tells us all we need to know about your MC’s personality.

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, #OneLineMC
