#NA #F The curse fills anyone who gets too close to Brynna with murderous greed. When they try to kill her, they die instead. With her father and fiancée dead by the curse, she must break it herself before the rest of her loved ones are killed. #MoodPitch

Here's a downloadable HD wallpaper of my recent eclipse composite photo. If you want a 4k ultrawide version w/ less compression- you can download it for free at the link in my bio or the second post in this thread!

@nnazizwrites @kristimcmanus But also I don't think the winner or runner up are included in that, so NOT seeing your sub could mean VERY good things...

I am both happy and sad that the #revpit editors I submitted to aren't posting teasers... #revpitwaiting

Are you an educator, student, or general science fan?

Heard about citizen science, but not sure where to start?

Check out these two new guides for tons of ways to @DoNASAScience for the upcoming eclipse and beyond. ⬇️

It's easy to be scared that other writers having the same elements somehow takes away from the uniqueness of your story. But popular tropes sell, and that's what agents are really looking for: mss they can sell. It's literally their job.

That's my solar wind sim in the top spot there! Specifically, it's an MHD simulation of a kinked magnetic field in a plasma, meant to imitate the phenomenon called a switchback in the solar wind. It was fun to turn my research into something more inspiring #phdlife #SolarEclipse

@MadelynKnecht Ok I don't know if it's actually my favorite, but rewatched Cars 3 today with my kids and it is totally underrated. I know the movie is older than 5 years, but I only watched it for the first time last year.

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@vicdwrites Yes. I don't handle hunger well.

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@Lynnette_Novak My kids, all the time, even now.

@AriaIgniata ooooo love corrupted chosen one! good luck!

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

Just submitted. Almost didn't this year. Here's to trying!

[Revise & Resub is on Bsky 🦋 @ReviseResub]

We'll be #RevPitWaiting again this year, folks, so mark your calendars. If you want to join in the fun, just use the hashtags #RevPit and #RevPitWaiting for your prompt, and feel free to post on any social media platform you prefer!

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice If this is someone less than 5 years in, and assuming no glaring red flags, I would say keep going! You can do it! You don't have to win a nobel prize to finish. If you're something 6 or 7 years in and can't see the end...good luck

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@GracieMarsden Noticed you haven't been announcing over here so I'm doing it for you...
Bones of Jade, Flesh Like Ice made book deal of the week (last week). YALL I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK. Again. Because you know, I've only read draft 1. #darkfantasy

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@PhDVoice I like all the recommendations to read. I would add a thought that it pure speculation, but perhaps you should take some time to read more scifi/fantasy. those stories tend to be written from "what ifs" and help get my creative juices flowing, which is really what you need.

[Maile Marriott @BurnettMaile]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice They should know how to deal with a high stress environment.

@HeatherCashman Curse-breaking it is :D
