Don't assume that your desk is where all your writing happens. 90% of the process of creation happens elsewhere. Use whatever time you have. Thinking time; dreaming time; observing time; analyzing time. All this time can be part of your work. Don't waste it.
If you are #querying do you stick with submitting to agents only or do you query direct to publishers?
I never realized you could query publishers 🤯
Pros & Cons… go!

Oooh I’ll check that one out!

What have been your recent winners?
Is this the third book in a series? Wayward Pines? I keep hearing about it… is this my sign?

The 1st wasn’t too bad. Or the 2nd or 3rd. Now on the 16th & I can tell you it’s getting harder.
Is 16 a lot? Nope.
Does it feel like the mountain is getting too steep? A bit, yeah.
But I move forward b/c I believe it my story. Keep going, friends

Everyone knows what they want when it comes to their DREAM AGENT, right?!
What do YOU look for when picking who to query?
I want someone who is open to ideas & collaborating, believes in honest feedback, and has as much excitement about my story as I do.
