Whoo! Very exciting, good luck. I am also working on a book and I totally relate to briefly being blocked by tools and ultimately going with Google Docs - it’s been working great for me so far

This is so exciting, Cissy! A book is such an energizing yet humbling endeavor. I should know, I'm in the early stages of writing mine too. I don't know if I'm gonna write it "with the garage door up" but you inspired me to share more about the process than I initially planned. I can't wait to follow your journey and see how it shapes up!

(Sorry for the late reply, I must've missed the notification.) So far, I'm in the process of reading some primary literature on the topic (an exploration of care as a multidimensional concept - as virtue, practice, capacity and much more), synthesizing all my thoughts, roughly collecting all the ideas I want to include, and trying to see how they all tie to each other.
