As someone currently stuck in pitching limbo with a fleshed-out proposal already in the can, this was an encouraging read. The nagging impulse to just 'write the damn thing' is a strong one, indeed.
Thanks for this, Michael. I love all of your columns, and find them so useful, but as someone also in the excruciating process of writing a book proposal, I found this one particularly apt. Bon courage to us both!
Thanks so much
