I really needed this, thank you! It’s hard going over the same pages or sentences over and over again, but the end result is always worth it!

I love the exercises you included, like the idea of writing a plot outline in reverse. Thinking about the big picture in new ways. Love it!

Useful article. Well written, organized in a direct, clear way that pushed me to do self-feedback on my process. I had already followed some of your advice, so could celebrate, and I left my ego at the door to begin to assess what I need to strengthen, revise, even if it’s difficult.
