@DpwCreative A chapter book is a storybook intended for intermediate readers, generally age 7-10. It's a novel in miniature.
-
@KMWeiland thanks for answering. would you know what a chapter book is? i heard it was something like a 40+ page book. could it be any kind of story?
-
@DpwCreative If you have two books that you feel are equally ready for publication, I would go ahead and shop both.
-
@KMWeiland I agree with you there. I find writing the book alot easier than getting it acepted though. If you had two separate books, would it be good to send them both out to many agents at once, then go with which ever one gets acepted first? Even though agents say you shouldn't, it would be quicker, and double your chances, right?
-
@DpwCreative That's been my experience too. Writing is never "easy," but it's so much easier with an outline than without!
-
I wrote my 1st book from the top of my head, and it took forever, and didn't turn out so good. I outlined my other ones and it was alot easier.

Polly Pantser and Ollie Outliner are SO my girlfriend and I. We've been working on a mutual project in recent days and, while we're golden when it comes to world-building, when it comes to figuring out the actual flow of the story, we're having to develop a little bit of give and take after the first time our preferences in regards to methods bumped heads. In fact, the brief bit of dialogue you had in the video between the two was close to what we had said to each other that time!

@RZion01 I once collaborated with a non-outliner. She ended up coming around to my way of thinking more than I did hers, but it was an interesting experience for both of us!
