But yeah, I would probably I would probably say that as far as obstacles went, a slow writer and having to do rewrites.
I had one book where my editor came back to me.
with her uh basically edit sheets um you know it's that big you know summary report that they give you and then you've also got all the track changes in the manuscript.
And she had one item on there that said, I think this needs to change for this character's motivation.
Well I was in agreement.
I said, Okay, yeah then I started making changes but it was one of these ones where
Once I started making the change there, it worked like House of Cards, Dominoes, everything, the big scenes, everything started to fall apart.
And so the original one hundred and
Thirty two thousand words I turned into her.
I tossed out everything except nine thousand words and started over.
Oh yeah.

A change in the way I thought as far as my approach went.
So for me, the main one, and it really, really stuck, was that don't think in terms of chapters, think in terms of scenes, because that is how your reader approaches the book when they read.
It's scene by scene, connect scene by scene.
It's not looking at it chapter by chapter by chapter, which is often how
I would view it and I know that a lot of that probably fell within sort of a a natural process as well since I wrote in dual point of view.
So there is a high concentration on chapter by chapter, but it was really super important.
