- Hi Rebecca - I've already submitted my Teen Witches in HS to you (Early Magic). I may be doing a revision; would it be okay to resubmit?

- Definitely looks like a snuggle bunny.♥️

- I watched this with my 11-year-old sister a year after our mother died. It was crazy intense, and healing.

- You're a true writer now! I know that's a cliche, but it's also true!

- Honestly, I keep giggling. Keep that one under your vest so nobody steals it. Do what you gotta do: WRITE IT!

- I laughed just reading that! You should do it.
- Sort of. I think it's the genre I can't quite nail down. And I'm moving from YA to adult, which is a tiny bit daunting. But I'm slowly chipping away at it! Characters are coming together!

- Yes, I queried there as well. I'm not really sure what the thinking is. Maybe they like authors to do a LOT of publicity events.

- The query package is painful. Rejections are also pants.
- [Not loaded yet]
- YES. THIS.
- Well, I live in the Czech Republic, and need an English-speaking agent. I don't really have a choice. But it sort of begs the question: Why does the agent need to be IN your country?
- Early Magic: When a cocksure teen witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a ruthless plan to steal it back—even if it means betraying a grieving classmate who’s only just discovered the world of magic. "Clueless meets The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina"
- #QuestPit Haha. Forgot that one essential bit.

- Early Magic features a mysterious newcomer with tattoos of trees on his forearms. Previous Moons is the prequel, tracing the journey of Dylan, a 15-year-old druid in Wales as he comes into his magic and searches for his missing father in a dying world. Tattoos are integral to his magic.

- #QuestPit #YA #F #Q Early Magic: Two witches. A portal. And lots of homework. Also a hot vet. And a perfect pair of Prada boots. "Clueless meets The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina"
- #QuestPit #YA #F #W Previous Moons When visions convince Dylan his father is alive, he is determined to find out the truth, even if it means questioning everything his *touta* has taught him to believe.

- #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings Day 14 #ShoutOut So many people to shout for! @safiyabintsaleh.bsky.social @chloemarcus.bsky.social @racquelk.bsky.social The whole Inspiring Authors Discord crew, my camp feedback partners, all the #RevPit editors... What a fantastic experience! xoxo
- #Discworld Excited to go to this! www.praguefringe.com/programme/th...
- Day 13 #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit My endings sort of came to me, at least for my current two projects. In fact, I think I'm more of a pantser than I thought! Bonus: I will be revising one project, drafting another, and brainstorming a third!
- Day 12 #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings Growing up, I mostly wrote contemporary, then moved to fantasy once *Early Magic* took form. I'm currently brainstorming a romance/modern historical/NA story and would like to investigate cozy magical realism and shorts.
- Day 12 #CampfireConfessions #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings Feedback! Receiving constructive criticism has been a learning process, but I do think it's a critical one. I so value my CPs!
- #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings Thus far, I think my answer, surprisingly, is other languages. *Early Magic*: invented in-world conlang *Previous Moons*: Welsh *Fifoldara*: Anglo-Saxon Untitled historical memoir/romance: Czech

- I only ever watch Star Trek in its entirety starting with OS. I know. It's inconvenient. Also, I adore Enterprise b/c of Trip. Also inconvenient. 🤷♀️

- He didn't bother that much. I just hate Neelix with a fiery passion that everyone else shares.

- AW, thanks! And right back at you!
- #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit The strongest emotion I've felt while writing was probably the release/relief/pride I felt when I finished my first draft of Early Magic, way back in 2000. I cried. Bonus: Currently, my WIP Previous Moons is causing me mostly frustration. I will push through!
- Previous Moons: 1. Somebody is a cannibal 2. Somebody is in a boy band 3. Dylan would rather be a vet #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings
- #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit My favorite element of writing is that "flow" moment when you finally *feel* your character. That, and writing descriptions. Bonus: The hardest part of writing for me is, apparently, pace.
- #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit #Querying Rowan: Goes to a high-end spa. A lot. Or drives around with the top down. Danika: Surfs or goes for a walk on the beach with her dog, Zephyr. Dylan: Plays football (not American) Me: Binges low-stakes Netflix

- I am a big fan of Hallmark for exactly that reason, but I mostly watch them in November/December. I've been bingeing Death in Paradise most recently, and I also enjoy watching Star Trek, all series, in order, when I'm really in need of soothing!
- #CampRevPit #CRPGlasswings I lost a weekend due to RL, so all I've really done is revise the opening chapter of my RevPit submission, Early Magic. Hopefully, this week I can get back to my WIP!
- #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit #WIP #W #Q A young druid in modern-day Wales is determined to prove his missing father is alive. To save him, he must travel to a dying world—one his powerful mentor will stop at nothing to control.

- I'm going to jump into a sprint, a bit earlier than most of you all, as I'm in Europe. While my husband watches the Footie, I'll be attacking my first chapter edits. :D
- #CampMyth #CRPGlasswings #CampRevPit Once there was a man who got trapped in another world. Legend says his son travels there each month to search for him with his companion, a young daemon who is similarly lost. Pursuing the son...a ruthless druidess, bent on complete power.

- Didn't get very far and realized I'm too exhausted to make coherent decisions, but I'm glad I started!
- I'm not actually sprinting, but I am trying to make some edits to my first chapter (while also monitoring students in the hotel corridor. Grrrrrr. Just go to bed!)
