All those writing articles you've bookmarked? They might be the exact reason you can't finish your novel. Here's what's really happening—and the simple shift that changes everything.

You know that browser folder labeled "Writing Advice"? The one with 147 articles about plot structure and 83 posts on character development? Yeah, that one. What if I told you it's actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I'm exposing the "writing advice trap" that catches even the most dedicated writers. After helping hundreds of writers finish their novels, I've discovered why the most knowledgeable writers often write the least (and what you can do differently starting today). 

Tune in to hear me talk about:

• [00:52] Why writers who read the most writing advice often can't finish their novels (the pattern that surprised me)
• [01:53] How to stop rewriting Chapter One forever (and what broke the cycle for a writer stuck for 5 years
• [03:44] Save the Cat vs Hero's Journey vs Story Grid (and why contradictory writing advice is keeping you stuck
• [08:16] The 3 things successful writers do differently to actually finish their first draft
• [12:20] How to choose a writing method and stick with it (plus the one question that changes everything)

The truth? Any complete system works better than ten partial systems. You don't need the "perfect" method. You need to pick one and follow it all the way through.
