Waking up to an email from my proofreader telling: “This is a VERY solid manuscript” be like #booksky #amquerying #authorlife

Me: I write on my laptop. You work at a literary agency. Everyone in the industry (maybe?) knows who you are, my mother has trouble remembering details about my writing. Me again in a bizarre inner dialogue: I'm also just a writer, standing in front of an agent, asking them to love my query letter.

How do you outline, authors? (If you do) I’m working on one right now and starting with chapter vibes or like a one sentence plot point that suits my pacing. Then I’m going to go back and flesh it out to be as detailed as possible #booksky #authors
