Nice!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏽
Love this idea!!
I finished writing and revising my travel romance! 🎉At least until my agent sends me edits 😅. I can’t believe I cut over 80k words during revisions…that’s like a whole other book! 🤯).
How many words do you have in your excess content document? Have you ever reused any of them later?
Christine’s book:
FOR KEEPS (MG Horror)
A 13yo overachiever strives to debunk her school’s 50-year curse, but when her slacker twin vanishes, she becomes trapped in a time loop and must solve the mystery of the curse or lose her sister forever. 👻🕰️
Natasha’s book:
NO LOVE IS AN ISLAND (Romance)
A spiraling 25yo travels to Sri Lanka to search for her missing dad, but when a baggage-claim mishap leaves her stranded, she must accept help from her nemesis and take his ex’s spot on the couples trip he planned. 🏝️💕
@letiziawrites.bsky.social and I
met during the golden age of Writer Twitter through Revpit posting games. 🐥💛📝
Since then, we’ve become CPs, friends, and even agent siblings (shout out to the great @morgan.c.hughes!). We can’t wait to share our books with the world!
What’s your take on creating a fictional town for a contemporary novel?
As this round of revisions draws to a close, I’ve begun listening to my own novel draft with earbuds using the Read Aloud feature on the Microsoft 365 app. 📖🗣️
What a great way to catch awkward, wordy, or repetitive language while immersing yourself in the novel through a different sense!
Character inspo for the art I’m commissioning!!!
I’m deep in revisions for my travel romance (set largely in Sri Lanka), and Sandali and Cliff feel so alive to me…what better way to bring them to life for everyone else than with some character art (until you can read my book, that is 😉).
#Editors prepare to have your bones chilled and your heart warmed! THE SHIVER’s got thrills, chills and feels!!! 👻🕯️🖤

I’d much rather rewrite/add scenes, which at least involve some imagination and creative flow.
Hot take: The worst revisions are Tedious Revisions.
These are pesky little things like ensuring consistent/logical timelines, fact-checking, adding details to support later statements, filling minor plot holes, and mixing up repetitive pet phrases.
Reading this now and LOVING it!!
