I’m revising the opening of LYAL (the book #amquerying) & did a read through to ensure consistency with the changes. I hit the scenes at the end of act 2 & into act 3 & wow…I’m glad my writing craft has grown & that I could spot what needed to change. I’m glad I did a reread 🙏 #writingcommunity

I love finding things in my doc that reference things I’ve deleted 🤦‍♀️ #writingcommunity #amrevising

What’re your summer (or winter) writing goals? Mine are: -Finish TPP revision notes -Revise & send revpit editor 15pages for critique -Revise LYAL beginning -Query new LYAL beginning 🤞 -Revise TPP -Get TPP materials ready -Query TPP -Zero draft next project #writingcommunity #writinggoals

It's official, #SmallPitch comes back for another indie/small press-focused pitch event on July 7-8, 2025 🌊 This time, it will be open to all unagented authors from the #WritingCommunity. Check our website for more details ⬇️

Mishaps, banter, and swoony moments ensue between impulsive Leah and grumpy Alaric as they navigate a ticking clock on their careers and hearts. 💕close proximity 👀grumpy x sunshine 📷found family 📝mentor/mentee ☕️fish out of water 🍂Oct-Dec 🏙️Houston #JoyPit #AgentGuide #A #R #C #amquerying

New Girl meets Gilmore Girls when Leah is sent to live with strangers and work with a grumpy coffee shop owner to prove her work ethic, but as mishaps and banter ensue, tension rises like dough between Leah and Alaric, making her question her future plans. #JoyPit #A #R #C #amquerying

Hello #writers #agents and #editors, #JoyPit is back this year. ✨Save the Date✨ #amquerying #writerscommunity

I was waking early to write but then my toddler started waking early so I stopped. When I stopped is when my toddler also stopped… So I woke early this week to write and GUESS WHAT 😭😭 #writingcommunity #momwriter

How the MC & LI didn't feel about their first meeting 👀 lol #writingcommunity #adultromcom

The LI gives off a playboy jock attitude but is waiting for someone (the MC) to see & value who he truly is. Once a pro-footballer, his goal is to stay off his dad's radar while working at an island resort where he leads excursions. Fun fact: His boat is named 'Nezuko'. #MayWeDance #WritingCommunity

Quinn is compassionate, personable, funny, & loves with her whole heart. She loves caramel lattes, photography, & conservation. She wants to win the island resort's staff competition to get promoted & make more $ to fund her brother's equine therapy program. #MayWeDance #WritingCommunity

I’m going to gloss over that like the queen of deflection I am. 🏖️ I want character art so bad...I might have to invest... #CRPDamselflies #CampRevPit

I'm in all stages of projects (querying, final draft, zero draft, brainstorming) for adult contemporary romance, with early-mid 20s, 1st person POV, present tense. In general I'm looking for readers & writing buddies for the various stages, to do swaps with & chat. #ABCPit #CampRevPit

Hi! I love meeting new romance writers! I write adult contemporary romances set in Texas, that feature banter, tension, & heart. I’m querying LYAL, working on a final draft of TPP to query in summer, & zero drafting WRH :) These are shared world stand alones. #MayWeDance #writingcommunity

Besides all my MCs (& let’s be honest, the LIs), for TPP it’d be Izzy. She’s my MC’s bestie. She’s chill, easy to talk to, a great listener & advice giver, always down to hang or try something new. She’s got humor & heart & shared interests. #CRPDamselflies #CampRevPit

Welcome to #MayWeDance! Every day for the month of May, I will post a romance-focused prompt for all writers of all genres with romance in their WIP. Let's start off with introductions! Share a little bit about yourself and your WIP. #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #WritingPrompt #Romancelandia

From one-night stand to he falls first, island romance: banter, tension, heart #CRPDamselflies This took me TOO long & I’m still not happy 😂 My book’s pitch 💕

#GIFRevisions #CampRevPit Taking comments, brainstorming, redoing my outline, creating a game plan, executing the plan.
