Enjoying writing my query. Started yesterday, put it down, slept on it. Poured coffee and revised this am. It's really good. I'm excited to put it out... really soon!

Anyone else find airplanes weirdly productive for writing?
Maybe it's the white noise and pure oxygen.
I’ve seriously considered flying around the world just to finish a draft.
“Wow, your book feels heavy!”
Yeah. It’s the carbon. 😬✈️

I road-tripped to a few key places from my new manuscript before the final polish.
Revisiting them after writing lets me see these places through my characters’ eyes.
I didn’t know them before—but now I do, and I can experience the world as they would.

I’m road tripping - revisiting places in my manuscript looking for any fine details I left out. Came across this amazing used book store. Picked up a “Brothers Karamazov”
