She went back, developed her story's foundation with special attention to her antagonist, and then threaded that force of opposition all the way through her story.
She has now published that novel, Touch of the Allegrian, at 72, and it has become a two-time Claymore Award finalist.
All right, so I tell you this because none of them needed to become a different writer or throw their ideas out.
They just needed to identify what their story was missing, what was keeping them stuck, and then strengthen that part of their story before moving forward.
And the same is true for you.
Now, if you'd rather not figure all of this out on your own, if you're tired of stitching together random advice every time you hit a wall or get stuck, that's exactly what I built my Notes to Novel program for, and I would love to have you come check it out.
Inside the course, I'll walk you through a clear step-by-step process for turning your idea into a story that can support a full-length novel.
We'll go through fleshing out your central conflict, clarifying what your protagonist will pursue, developing meaningful opposition, and mapping your entire story scene by scene so you know how to move forward.
Doors are opening again very soon, and if you want to be the first to know when they open, go to the link in the show notes and put your name on the waitlist.
I would love to see you inside the course.
And make sure to tune in next week because I'm going to walk you through five common myths that can cause writers to misread why they're stuck and what's actually true instead.
Because most of the time, getting stuck isn't a talent problem or proof that your idea stinks.
It's usually a process problem and process problems are fixable.
We'll talk about all of that on the next episode.
All right, so that's it for today's episode.
As always, thank you so much for tuning in.
I hope your writing is going well and I will talk to you next week.
There's one piece of writing advice that gets thrown around more than just about any other piece of advice, and that is to just start writing.
If you're stuck and not sure what to do first, that's okay, just start writing.
If you're overthinking your plot and going around in circles, that's okay, just start writing.
