You do not need the robots to creatively prompt you! Just try to take the most violent bite of yourself possible. Try to swallow yourself whole
Hi! Happy to answer new Qs! 😊
- Yes, love cats! (I'm 100% an animal person, so 💜 all critters)
- A short MS is great! What's most important is that the WC works for the story! (I don't have a specific preference for a long MS over short, I'm just open to working w/ a high WC if I love the story.)

“#RevPit Season has begun! All the discussions are on Bluesky! Swipe for my MSWL”
“MY MSWL. Age Category: Adult -Romance (paranormal, historical, fantasy) -Sci-fi -Fantasy (either gritty, romantic, or cozy)”
“ELEMENTS THAT WILL MAKE ME FLIP: Diverse characters (including but not limited to LGBTQA+, BIPOC, and disabled characters) - I don't want the diversity to be the only focus of the book. People are more than their marginalization and are complex characters. Don't distill them to just one thing., Retellings that are unique (think representation from a marginalized group)”
“ELEMENTS THAT WILL MAKE ME FLIP (Cont.): Complex non-romantic relationships (friendships, found families, siblings), Very character-driven plots, Cozy fantasy or sci-fi, Spooky or gothic vibes in a fantasy setting, Steamy romances with compelling love interests and main characters (nothing is more boring than a perfect love interest), Fantasy romance that is cozy, cute, or humorous”
That’s right, it’s #RevPit season! RevPit is an annual contest where winners can receive edits from prof editors (including me!). Come join our lovely community and talk all things writing and editing (even if you aren’t planning on entering).

Absolutely 😩 I hope one day more people will care about the long list of reasons not to use it, instead of just focusing on their own (often extremely minor) inconveniences. It's especially hard to understand the hype when hearing how it barely saves time and is often flat-out wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finishing things is such underrated writing advice. You need to learn your habits and what tools you use not just to have an idea or start a story, but to finish them. You need to get used to it, and then observe how you can do it better. That starts by finishing stories at all.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!
Things that trigger a flow state:
🧸 Sensitivity: You’re not “broken” or “too sensitive” — you’re an #artist whose medium is words.
🤺 Turning Adversity into Advantage: Meaning-making aspect of #creative work.

Can we PLEASE stop telling authors to cut other languages from their books? I’ve talked to multiple authors told to remove the Spanish. 😠 If readers can figure out what a hobbit is or casually drop “valar morghulis,” they can context clue their way through a real language.
Only three days away!! Subs open March 12th! ✍️📚👀

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

If there's not enough time for a person to do a developmental edit of your book, then they are likely not the right editor for you. You deserve an editor who knows your book, who has read every word, who cares about you and your goals.
