Feeling unsure about your story can be scary, especially when you’ve already spent real time writing it.
Maybe the idea felt strong at first and the outline made sense. But now you’re wondering if the story is actually going to work.
Before you decide something is wrong with the book, there may be another way to read that uncertainty.
In this video, we’ll talk about why feeling unsure of your story is not always a bad sign, how creative risk shows up in the writing process, and why the discomfort you feel may be pointing to something important.
If you’re writing a novel, memoir, or nonfiction book and you’re worried your story isn’t working, this will help you slow down, sort the signal, and figure out what your next step may be.
