I love the hers/his! And everything about this, honestly.

That's the goal!

I would actually be very motivated (to run) if a flying fish was barrelling toward me.

It'll get done! I live for the motivation of a deadline barrelling toward me like [insert simile of choice here].

WIP: Apathetic vampire fights track-star zombies

Querying: Scientists discover fertilizer and love

Same. But replace "slowly" with "not." (I keep getting distracted by my shiny new WIP...)

Thanks! I'm still entertained by it...

It's my mission. Elevate awkward!

Essentials for Writers: Loglines In 2022, we started asking for loglines as part of the submission process for the RevPit Annual Contest. Because this was new to the contest and a lot of the authors in our community weren’t …

Hey #RevPit, have logline questions or want some feedback on your logline? Reply here, and I’ll get to as many as I can.

Logline explanation: www.jenichappelleeditorial.com/post/essenti...

Two awkward scientists must overcome their mutual dislike to save the world from starvation in this sci-fi rom-com with real chemistry.

Yes please! It was so helpful last year. (Everything you did was helpful.)

I chose my #RevPit editors a week ago. But now y'all are doing "ask an editor" posts and I want to submit to at least 6 of you! (More, if you include the ones who don't want sci-fi or romance.)

Darn you all for being so cool!

You wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) the number of titles i tried out that played on fertilizer.

"Steaming Pile of Love" was sadly one of the better ones.

If you’re on the fence about #RevPit, I’m always tempted to say you have nothing to lose + everything to gain. Which is true.

But I also want to acknowledge that there are genuine reasons not to enter. So, I present you:

Reasons Not to Enter the RevPit Annual Contest 🧵

Moodboard. Centre image is a pressure cooker with "CHEMPORTAL" written across it. Outer images clockwise from top left: - fancy drinks and food on a table set for 2 - typed text on a page of a book. "Chemistry" is highly visible - a white woman with brown hair working on a car engine - the Toronto skyline - a colourful stack of books - a bright light shining through a partially open door, obscuring the world beyond - a bat hanging from a branch - a stack of latkes

In 1909, Fritz Haber invented the process used to create fertilizer to this day. In the world of CHEMPORTAL, he never existed.

Andy Weir and Ali Hazelwood are channelled in this tale of two awkward scientists who must overcome their mutual dislike to save the world.

Well, it is a romance, so there's a happily ever after...

This is terrifying and amazing.

Do you really really promise? Because you have me nervous...

Image of a pink and silver pressure cooker against a black background. Top says “ChemPortal: a Romantic Sci-fi.” Bottom says: “Two awkward scientists just want to be left alone to build a lawnmower. Instead, they find themselves battling time, powerful corporations, and doomsday cults to save the world from starvation.”

No one knows whether the Chiropteran cult worships bats or just feels bad they're all dying. Doesn't matter, though, since the world's about to end.

#Revpit for when you get so blind to your own #WIP that you can't see rabbits anymore.

Hahaha it's so much fun! I gave up after a sweater I worked for months on proved to be bizarrely proportioned, but I should ease back in with some amigurumi.
