Such a wonderful post. I had an idea for a novel whilst on the retreat, one that this time I don’t want to give up on. Instead of rushing straight in and writing (like I have done with previous ideas), I’ve decided to sit with this one and plan first.

Thank you for this great advice on structuring a story.

It was so lovely meeting you Stephanie 🥰 Looking forward to reading more of your work.

A lovely and inspiring post, Stephanie.

I especially love this line: "I realized that at the time, for the first time, I drew a line in the sand and waited for him to cross it."

So that's what was going on when you tucked yourself away to write!
