I wanted to give a shout-out to

@jenichappelle

for her insight and guidance. Not only was her MS critique spot-on, but our call today gave me a clear path for revisions. It was awesome to brainstorm in real-time, too. #Revpit #amwriting #amediting

IF you are someone who is anxious about this kind of thing, and DO actually want this kind of information, please know that some of this is exploitative. So, I did my best (with Kyla's permission!) to edit it down to the most useful points. drive.google.com/file/d/1Wp-JpJ

My brain while editing: -That's not a thing. -Wait, is that a thing? -Maybe that's a thing. -Let me check if that's a thing. -Oh shoot, that's a thing. -Well, at least I'll know that thing for next time. Next time: -That's not a thing. #AmEditing

Unique opening.

MC already working toward goal. Good forward momentum. To tighten, review for places where you tell something and then show it. Good voice. Would keep reading!

I’m not sure if I have a favorite MS quote, but I’ve always appreciated the opening line for chapter two, which used to be my first chapter until I swapped the opening POV character: The stillness hit her first, an uncanny reminder of death’s permanence. #revpitwaiting #RevPit

Can anyone share a range for the number of #RevPit subs received by mentors this year (ie. smallest and largest total, without naming any mentors)? Or is that a secret? Some wishlists were super specific, so I suspect there’s a large range. 🤔🧐 #revpitwaiting

Today’s #RevPitWaiting prompt is favorite chapter end line. I have a handful of favorites, but this one is the easiest to understand out of context. Heat washed over him, a profound realization setting in: He was in love with Faine. #revpit

The antagonist from my MC’s POV is his ex-employer, Jax Vinstar, while the antagonist from the other two POVs is Marius, both of whom are members of a trans-dimensional syndicate selling superpowers. Ikki illustrated them below (Jax in the greenish suit). #revpit #revpitwaiting

Catching up! I’ve always wanted to write a villain’s origin story, so knife-wielding thief Faine starts out as the anti-hero before unraveling. The only person he cares about is his friend & childhood crush, Devlin, who is a bookkeeper of mystical lineage. #RevPitWaiting #revpit
