Hold on to your wigs, literary agents, this two page synopsis is absolutely cooking. I might almost feel good about querying... even on the last day of November.

I'm pretty sure the bad guy is wearing these, in this illustration from the Hardy Boy's book.

What purpose is it serving the story? Short chapters can make the pacing feel faster, but is that benefiting the story I want to tell, or is it rushing through a moment? Just some of the things I think about when I’m writing and revising. (6/6)

Sometimes revising looks like printing out pages, cutting up scenes, and taping them together in new ways. (1/6) #amrevising #amwriting #mgmystery #backtowonder #kidlit
