My Plot Fell Apart Mid Draft

Описание: My plot fell apart halfway through writing my first novel.

What do you do when your outline stops working mid-draft?

In this writing vlog, I share what happened when a small research detail completely changed my story and forced me to choose between re-outlining my novel from scratch or pushing through to finish the first draft.

If you’re writing a novel and:
• your plot has shifted halfway through
• your character motivations don’t quite make sense
• your outline isn’t working anymore
• you’re stuck in the messy middle
or you’re tempted to start over instead of finishing

…this video is for you.

I talk about:
• how I worked through character motivation issues
• falling down a research rabbit hole while drafting
• when to re-outline vs keep writing
• why finishing a messy first draft might matter more than getting it right
• and how to deal with plot holes without giving up

This is part of my journey writing my first novel — navigating perfectionism, anxiety, and the uncomfortable reality of draft one.

If you’re documenting your own writing process, working on your first draft, or trying to finish a novel, I hope this helps you feel less alone.

Good enough is good enough.
