This is the year you're going to write your novel! Except...

- you’ve started a first draft but aren’t finishing it.
- you keep revising the first chapters, hoping that eventually the rest of the story will become clear.
- you are doubting that your idea is any good.
- you worry it might turn out that you’re a terrible writer.
- you have trouble just making yourself sit down and write already.

The concept for my book was a messy ball of ideas—about structure, who my protagonist is, even about the message. What once felt confused and cloudy now feels clear because of Stephanie’s brilliant questions, guidance, and coaching. Thank you, Stephanie!
