Mmmmm Query Letters

The only thing I hate drafting more than query letters are synopses.

That’s going to be next.

And I just printed out GW AGAIN so I can go through ANOTHER round of line edits.

I hacked and combined several chapters during the last pass, and I need to make sure those run smoothly. I’ve also got pages and pages of detail notes that I’d like to go back and put into the narrative. They look like minor things: details about school, religion, the literal world building of Nyx’s planet from a rock into something more or less habitable, but they’re the sorts of details that make a so-so novel a memorable one.

Gee, it’s like writing is actual work or something.

I hate that.
