NAUSICAÄ X FF7 Hana is sure she’s the chosen one, even if her magic is resisting her and the previous chosen one insists she isn’t. But if it isn’t her destiny, then no one can save the world from poisonous dark magic, endless wars, and powerful demons. #Questpit #A #F #Q

I'm seeing a lot more maturity and "therapy speak" in submissions, including MG and YA. While I do think there has been a social change, I think we should keep in mind that a *majority* of people are not that introspective. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

It’s bleak how many people have given up on the intellect entirely. They don’t learn, don’t read, don’t watch anything that might challenge them. If you’re not fascinated by something, you’re going to be miserable. “He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.”

Please please PLEASE don’t use ai for your #questpit posts 😭 As someone with questionable canva skills, I PROMISE YOU that readers/agents/editors will connect with your ‘rough around the edges’ pitch more than they ever would with a machine-generated image. If you’re genuinely stuck - DM me and I’ll make you a moodboard myself! 🫶🏻
