Happy Saturday to all who are #RevPitWaiting! This is one of my favorite cards on my writing tack board, and a big theme in a lot of my MG work. Grateful for everyone I've met here at #revpit!

Hey #WritingCommunity and especially all you #revpit folks, anyone have tips for making line edits more accurate? Seems like half the time I change a line in my MS, when I read through again I still don't like it and want to try something else. Is this trial and error normal?

Hi #RevPit writers! I see several of you have thrown a YA fantasy into the ring, so here's a question. Can you recommend some really good YA F written in first person present? Historical or fairy tale retelling a big plus.

This is the place where the magic happens! I'm lucky that I finally have a spare bedroom where I can spread everything out and have it in front of me while I'm writing. because#revpit #RevPitWaiting

My favorite genres? I love anything created with craft and style, but closest to my heart is MG fantasy books, animated film & TV, and metafiction. #RevPitWaiting #revpit

To the editors: a huge thank you for sharing your wisdom! Great editing really makes it shine, be it book or film 😎. I truly admire those who can look at someone else's creative work and see how to nurture its growth into something more awesome. #RevPitWaiting #revpit

I've started working through "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. I love it! Here's a shot from my first "artist date," a 2-hour walk along the beach with time to meditate in the shadows of a sea cliff. #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Does anyone know of an English translation of the Sangam poem, Pattinappalai? I can find a French translation on Amazon, but I can't seem to find the full text in English.
