Especially the bit where they had to craw down a ventilation system that's too small to fit even a normal human head.
A specific X-files episode came to mind when I wrote that scene.
Erika's conclusion afterwards was "never HYUCking again!"

I guess... Erika's imagination is mostly tied to body-horror shapeshifting transformations? I mean, they've only been 'awake' for a few days from their cocoon with amnesia, they're still adjusting to just *being alive* still.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Is your character imaginative?

Are they prone to flights of fancy or daydreams?

Do they imagine pleasant possibilities or terrifying ones?

Does it ever get them in to trouble? Or help them in tough times?

Mine is more related to... certain recent events and the catharsis of writing a particular... conclusion to them. Involving claws and monsters.

My wordcount was perfect, right in the goldilocks zone.
My subject matter, on the other hand, is another matter. Went darker than i usually do, and fell afoul of most of the "Immediate No" lists.

It's funny how rapidly (admittedly thin to begin with) fortunes can change so drastically with a single social media post.

So... been browsing through my #Revpit editor choices, as my top pick withdrew due to unforeseen circumstances.
IIRC, the spreadsheet of one of my other choices was different from when i last checked, and I'm out of their purview, so now I'm down to exactly one choice. My outside chance choice.

Editor Kala Godin has had to step down from this year's contest due to personal reasons. We hope she'll be back for the next #revpit event.

Writers, please check our editors' MSWLs if you need to make a new choice. We ensure we have good coverage across genres so everyone has plenty of choices.

Welp, there goes my first choice.

Hoping the circumstances aren't dire for her and resolve quickly!

I don't think I've used the word chapter in my works but I went with a very diff style for WIP tech-noir urban fantasy about two socially awkward hackers with multiple IDs they hide even from each other.

It's very hard to find the word chapter when your find function is finding all the actual chapter names too

Apparently, "division" is a synonym of chapter, so I'm just rolling with that.

#WIPSnips 10. "Chapter"

My chapters are mostly inspired by song/poems, would that count as "good vibes"? πŸ˜… Luckily, though, Kitana saved the day with a double WOTD:

#WIPSnips The word for March 10 is CHAPTER

THE RILL LORD features this conversation in which Hans and Dorilian discuss how much space might be devoted to each of their lives in a book. A lot. A little. None at all?

March 10th – chapter

Only one use of this word that isn’t a chapter heading.πŸ˜‚

Avrinly was keeping *someone*...safe for Queen Istaria of Esrasea.

They have now gone missing, and there is little Istaria won’t do to retrieve them.

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner.

I don't recommend using your chapter heading for this LOL there are ✨vibes✨ and then there are 🀨vibes🀨

Although, if you do punny or fun chapter titles, I'd be interested in hearing some of them!

Oh, Erika is plenty persistent. See, there's a spire with a attracting light like they're a moth or something. Something tells them that the key to their lost memory is in there, and they gonna geddit!

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How persistent/determined/stubborn is your character?

Do they pursue their goals long past the point of reason? Give up too easily? Strike a balance?

Does it depend what they are trying to do?
