How I wrote my novel in a note-taking app (and how you can, too)

I've summarized the text for you. The author of the novel, a working mom and writer, uses Google Keep as her lifeline for managing her time and organizing her writing process. She prefers a "happy middle ground" approach to plotting, where she has a clear sense of two to three chapters at a time, but still allows room for spontaneity. The author structures her chapters in a note-taking app, making bullet lists for scene overviews, character arcs, thoughts on theme or tone, and dialogue grab bags. She updates these lists throughout the writing process and uses the archive section to keep track of high-level overviews and organize her notes. This approach helps her stay flexible, focused, and productive, even with a busy schedule. The author also uses her note-taking app for querying agents and publishers, keeping separate lists of comps, agents, and self-publishing resources to help her navigate the publishing process.
