I would say that I'm particularly good at the wonder phase but I often get stuck there. It's easier for me to dream up ideas for books than to execute them. I have more ideas for books than I know what to do with!
I would tend to use "wonder" as a noun rather than a verb. While writing, I will be searching for wonder. It's a kind of excitement. It's like discovering a unicorn in your back yard -- "Wow! This is wonderful!"
I probably need to reflect longer on this question, "How do you interact with Wonder when working on a book?" What comes to mind immediately are moments when the narrative allows me to consider stunning intricacies of the natural world.

That makes sense! I can see that in you. I know you're making progress on making those book ideas real though. :-)

I like that use of the word "wonder" too! I also search for that experience of wonder when writing, and in the books I like to read. :-)

That makes sense! The natural world inspires wonder in me too!
Thank you for highlighting this book! I requested it from the library, although I haven't had the chance to read it yet.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it!
