Hi Jeni, still playing around with different variations of my logline. I'd welcome any feedback! 🙂
When a grieving son begins seeing his mother’s ghost, he meets the only person who can help him cope — but the further Sammy’s drawn from his family, the more the edges of reality begin to blur.
I won't have to worry about a hard pass then! I've been editing this manuscript for a few years now, and I really want to give it the love and care it deserves. Excited for what's to come over the course of the next few weeks during Revpit! Thanks again! 🙂
Thanks for joining. This will be my first Revpit! Really looking forward to pitching my YA Psychological Thriller to you! It nails a lot of the interests you listed on your MSWL, and I think we'd be a great pair. 🤞 As an editor, is there anything that makes a manuscript a HARD PASS for you?
Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to it! 👏
Stumbled upon your account and I’m really loving what I see. The dialogue here is so natural and doesn’t feel stiff at all. I could imagine it playing out in my head so well. Nice!
3/5: destroy -> destruction. this is one of my favorite dialogue exchanges #WIPSnips
Over the next few weeks, I visited Marc at least once, sometimes twice, a week. I always brought him something to eat and something we could do together; things like Uno, Trouble, and Simon. I brought a deck of cards and destroyed him in Spit, then let him “teach” me how to play Poker. I was enjoying it too much to admit I was the reigning champion of the late-night strip Poker tournaments they’d held in the dorm room below mine back in college. He seemed like he needed a win and it fit with the theme there seemed to be going: what people didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them.
Today’s #wipsnips word is “destroy”. #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writersky #writesky
March 5th WipSnip “destroy" subbed for “destroyed.”

I’d say it’s a YA voice closer to CG Drews rather than traditional YA, but thank you for your honesty! I appreciate it.
I really like the blend of love/yearning and morbid descriptions. I’m always a sucker for dark writing. This is really great!
As I stared at the ground, at the clear outline of where the grave had been dug, I yearned to thrust my bare hands into the dirt, to dig through it and crawl in there with him. I realized how insane that sounded but I honestly didn’t care. Everyone thought it was so romantic when that military wife spent one last night with her husband after he died in battle. But, I rationalized, that woman didn’t have to dig six feet into the ground first. I thought maybe the media would call us “The Modern Day Romeo and Juliet.” So what if Romeo and Juliet hadn’t had to dig up each other’s graves with their bare hands? They were still in a tomb, weren’t they? How different would it really be? Don’t even get me started on the ridiculousness of anyone considering two lust driven teenagers committing suicide after three days of dating to be the epitome of romance.

Hi Hanna, thanks for being an editor with Revpit this year! I was taking a look at your page and wanted to see if you were interested in YA, or just adult and middle grade?
That's great to hear! Thanks for the response. I look forward to submitting my manuscript to you soon. 🙂
Hi! Thanks for being an editor for this years Revpit! Took a look at your genres for YA, would you potentially be open to a dark psychological thriller? Initially I was marketing it as contemporary, but it’s quite psychological.

The heat pressed in gently, then all at once. Nathan's breath slowed, sweat tracing the line of his spine. The world narrowed to pulse and darkness and the sound of breathing his own, and Daniel's beside him. "Stay close," Daniel murmured. Nathan nodded, though Daniel couldn't see it. Time loosened. At first it was only color behind Nathan's eyesembers, deep red, the suggestion of firelight. Then shapes began to form. Trees. Snow. A hand gripping another, knuckles white with effort. He swallowed. Daniel's breathing hitched. "I see them," Daniel whispered, voice unsteady. "Do you see them?" Nathan did not answer right away. A man knelt in the snow, dark hair braided tight, shoulders shaking as he held another against his chest. Blood soaked through wool. The air smelled of iron and pine. The man lifted his head. And looked straight at him.
Nathan's heart lurchednot with fear, but with certainty. "Yes," he said softly. "I see them." The vision shifted. Fire again. Hands clasped. A word spoken low, carried more in breath than sound "Stay." The heat eased, slowly. The darkness lightened. When they emerged from the lodge, the night air felt impossibly cool. Daniel sat heavily on the ground, head in his hands. Nathan knelt beside him without thinking, one hand settling between Daniel's shoulders. "They were real," Daniel said. Not a question. Nathan nodded. "They still are." Daniel looked up at him then, eyes bright with tears and something steadier beneath it. "You knew." "I've known for a while," Nathan said. "I just didn't have proof." Daniel exhaled, leaning forward until their foreheads touched. "Then we carry it," Daniel said. "The story. Them." Nathan closed his eyes. "Together." They stayed like that for a long moment, the past still warm against their skinnot haunting, not demanding. Just remembered. They didn't speak right away. The night wrapped around them, cool and grounding after the heat. Somewhere nearby, someone laughed too far away to intrude. Daniel finally broke the silence. "I didn't bring you here to... convince you of anything." Nathan smiled faintly. "I know." Daniel hesitated, then added, "I just didn't want to be alone with it anymore." Nathan turned to him then, really looked at him. "Neither did I." Daniel's breath caught—not sharply, just enough to notice. Nathan shifted closer, their knees touching. He didn't move away this time. "I've spent my life studying things that are gone," Nathan said softly. "And tonight, for the first time, it didn't feel like loss."
-Sixth-(sense)
Daniel takes Nathan to a sweat lodge and they both experience the same vision.

G'morning #WIPSnips. So... since we're back on Cavern Clipper, I might as well bite the bullet and start snipping the parts I previously danced around. This was the only mention of perish in the WIP.

I invite you for a 20-sec look into:
A woman who can't remember the accident.
A mind she no longer trusts.
A deep-dive into Paris.
A lioness.
A blind man who helps her see the truth.
But only if she's brave enough to see herself for the first time again.
