This article gave me the push I needed this morning!
"If you find yourself stalling on an action—any action—because you’re waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay, I see you."

Thank you so much for this #10Queries feedback! It was my first time participating in #Revpit and I was ecstatic just to receive a mention 🥹 💙
FP7 YA C
I’m not convinced a prologue is needed since the events are mentioned on a later FP. Add in a little more detail, prologue could be removed, and the storyline can be moved up. MC voice is great, dialogue reads the way teens talk.

Charlie gains power through popularity and fear. He comes from a prominent lobstering family whose name is respected in town. However, he uses this to manipulate his friends, coercing them into all sorts of delinquency. #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts

Just curious, what do you listen to while you're writing? Some people like instrumental playlists or movie scores, others like tunes with lyrics or swear by the classics. What's your thing? 🎶 💃

What are your querying strategies to avoid burnout/feeling discouraged? I’ve heard authors say they pick one day a week to query or they do it in small batches 🤷🏼♀️ What do you think? #writingcommunity #amquerying #yalit #writers

My #RevPit book is a piece of my soul! I'm sure most people say that 😄 It is set in a rural close-knit community with strict traditions & norms. But one mysterious family breaks through the judgement and defies assumptions. It has forbidden love, a double-cross, & found family. #RevPitWaiting #YAlit
Day 2 of #RevPitWaiting!
You wrote a whole BOOK, and today's prompt is a chance to show it off 🤭 Tell us anything and everything you want about it! Make us swoon over villains, gasp at intricate plots, or give us warm feelings with cozy settings.
Don't forget to include ALT text for images!
