Taking stock of 2025 and a look ahead to 2026.
“We talk about setting goals you can actually affect. Not 'I want to have an agent by this date.' You can't control that. But what you can control is polishing your work to make it as good as you can before sending it out in the world. I hit that goal this year."

I know so many whale facts, just ask me! This was a super fun episode.
Episode 9, "Origin Stories," is live right now, with whales, a boy and his dog, and Gilded Age psychics.
@lsullivanwrites.bsky.social, @staciemwrites.bsky.social, @mkleinwrites.bsky.social share what got them started #writing and what inspires them.

Hard to believe #revpitwaiting will be over tomorrow! I’ll forever be grateful to the contest and everyone who works to put it on for giving me a deadline to work toward and encouragement along the way.

I haven’t always been able to take advantage because I’m phoneless during the day and parenting in the evenings but I have LOVED catching up on everyone’s posts when I can! Such a wonderful community.
#RevPit, please lavish @ambucsaru.bsky.social with all the love for her dedication to #RevPitWaiting
The editors do work really hard to make the annual contest fun and educational, but the badass writers supporting each other really make the community what it is 💙

I’ll be doing a second round of beta reading on my #RevPit manuscript with an eye toward querying in the summer and fall! And perhaps looking into taking advantage of a few of the editors’ expertise for a submission package review ☺️

Even after #RevPit winners are announced, our writing journeys are far from over. We'll still be walking down our paths, just with upgraded tools thanks to the editors & our community.
So what's next for you?

And she’s in! Thank you to the #RevPit editors for your kind encouragement and for donating your time, and to all the writers embarking on this adventure for the amazing community we’re creating. Let’s do this!

I have a very intentional plan to do my #RevPit submission tomorrow morning, but I’m having some kind of FOMO seeing everyone sub today 😂

This was a fun one! I’m already dreaming about AWG Retreat 2025.
Episode 3, "Writing Retreats," is out! We talk about how to find the right retreat for you, how you should think about writing goals for a retreat, and organizing your own retreat.
All that, plus haunted mansions, frostbite, and more.
Shout out to @writeyourdamnnovel.bsky.social for S5 E6.

I started The Glass Dagger in 2021, when my daughter was 1 and just getting into all things princess. I dreamed up a fierce, badass version of Cinderella who could fight back against the stepfamily that stole her life. My daughter just turned 5, and today I finished that draft. #AmWriting

@capitalweather.bsky.social I could have done without the thunder snow in Manasses while trying to ride a horse but the aftermath at the barn sure was pretty!

I’m a few weeks shy of hitting my 2024 goal of finishing my YA fantasy retelling of Cinderella. But thrilled to finally be writing the endgame I’ve had in my head for years and excited about where this book will take me in 2025. Happy new year #WritingCommunity

An underrated joy of being a linear writer is the sheer adrenaline rush of finally getting to write the endgame scenes you’ve had living in your head for years. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
