Mysterious dark-haired girl, painting of forest with death star occluding the sky, the earth from near orbit, crop of starfighter, boy kissing a sad girl, a mountain landscape, a dark-haired girl trapped behind a fence, silhouetted people around a scary bonfire.

Jim (my friend and mentor) has a thread showing how his Subtxt app can use AI to help you come up with ideas that fit PERFECTLY into your story's structure/meaning. Amazing stuff!

With tonight's rollout of Subtxt, writers can now engage with the #AI to help come up with some creatively interesting and spontaneous ideas of where to take their story. And the results will be based on that character's motivation and function in the overall plot... 👇

Highly recommended book! Deeply personal and emotional historical novel, should be a movie.

When Russian troops entered the town of Bucha in Ukraine, they occupied an apartment complex where Oleksii Tarasevich, a nanotechnology engineer, lives. Here’s some of what he saw during the month Russian soldiers held the town reut.rs/35PGC4J 1/9

Love the twist. If you can pull that off it's a HUGE winner!

Jane Austen x KUSHIEL A Lady wed by proxy crosses a kingdom of brutes to meet her husband (likely a brute) but en route falls for a gentle escort. The twist? They’re the same man. But neither knows it. + found family, steamy bathhouses, matriarchal bi cast #MoodPitch #A #F #R

The dust settles, Olgo is trapped in the bowels of Mars with no idea how to escape. But worse still, the device that controls their emotions is about to die. What terrors prowl there? 'Hello,' a tiny voice of hopefulness calls from the darkness. #moodpitch #SF #A #novella
Cold reckoning is set in the depths of Mars. I have tried to create a feeling of darkness and desparation in a future setting.

Submitted my manuscript to #RevPit today! Funny thing, the hardest question to answer was the title. (Okay, slight exaggeration. But not by much. :) )

Question about loglines for #RevPit. The Showcases on the site have 1-sentence summaries with a lot more "personality" than the @beccapuglisi logline article. Which style is a better model of what you're looking for?

Your newer posts mentioned that loglines don't need to be "hooky" or sales pitches, so I think that answers my question. Thanks @jenichappelle! #RevPit
