  • 22. Will readers love your story? Will agents want it?

    These are good, juicy questions. 

    And we're diving deep into them.

  • 20. What to do When a Manuscript is Kicking Your Ass

    It happens to the best of writers everywhere. A manuscript...an idea that they love...is kicking their ass.

    It just feels like a Rubics cube you cannot figure out!

    You try everything from reverse outlining to index cards to just throwing your plot against the wall and seeing what sticks.

    I get it. I've been there and a lot of my clients have been there, too.

    And that's exactly what we're talking about today. You're going to learn four steps you can do right now to take back control of your story and do what you need to do to get it done. 

    Plus, you'll also hear about my secret weapon in the fight against stories that are whoopin' your ass: my Story Roadmap. It's not an outline or a beatsheet. But something far more comprehensive that truly shows you what you're writing and how impactful and cohesive it actually is.

    I've got a few openings left for December so if you'd like me to personally build your Story Roadmap with me, go to theempoweredwriter.com/roadmap.
