Consider how books are marketed and sold when pitching. What in your story would catch a reader's eye? What about it is most likely to make an agent go, "I would request pages of this"? Those things should be in your pitch. Also, follow up with agents who engage with your pitches.

Hi, I'm Kengo! I primarily write gay romance in real-world or fantasy settings. Character-driven ideas inspire me most, but a good plot hook is hard to ignore. I started writing as a teen when my then-girlfriend said she wrote stories. I wanted to impress her by saying I did too. #BluePitHype

the book should simply edit itself to be exactly the way I want it to be without me having to go through my extremely convoluted editing process (that I do of my own volition) just to get to a second draft all of this is to say I'm approaching the 100 page mark and it feels good and also bad

not much of any writing today, and the writing I got done yesterday is for a scene much later in the book that I can't even use yet, but you know, I'm still feeling good about it thus far, which is better than I can say for most years of nanowrimo, especially in the middle of week 3
