When you promised not to let your book word count go above five digits while editing, but now, after starting at 76k, you have to hand-write an extra block #writerproblems #authorlife #fantasywriters

TIP: before you start writing a new book, write the plot pitch paragraph first! Whether or not you submit a query letter for traditional publishing, it forces you to get to the *marrow* of the plot in a way that hooks the reader and to clearly set up the stakes, inciting incident, and character arc
