0:00.0	Hey there, exciting news. I'm hosting a live three-day challenge to help you get your ideas out of your head and onto the page. It's called Kickstart Your Story and during our three days together. I'll share things like the three things you need to write your book in 2025, how to develop the four foundational elements of a working story idea, my five-phase novel writing roadmap, and so much more. I've taken everything I've learned
0:21.8	from coaching hundreds of writers and channeled it into this three-day challenge to help you take
0:26.4	action. By the end of our three days together, you'll have three really important things,
0:30.8	an engaging logline, a plan to write your book, and the confidence and courage needed to
0:35.5	write and finish that messy first draft.
0:37.9	So whether you're an aspiring writer looking for clarity around how to get started or a more
0:42.4	seasoned author looking for a more efficient way to develop your next idea, I want you to come
0:47.2	join me in this challenge. It runs from January 15th through the 17th and it only costs $47.
0:53.7	So if you want to join me or learn more about this
0:55.9	challenge, head over to savannah gilbo.com forward slash challenge and I hope to see you there.

1:08.5	the perfect sentence or figuring out the perfect details
1:11.3	or whatever you're trying to do, you literally halt your forward momentum and most of the time
1:16.7	you'll stay stuck. So if you do have that hour set aside that you're trying to write for the day,
1:22.3	you basically spend that hour just being stuck on the same thing and therefore your entire session
1:27.4	more or less
1:28.4	becomes a waste of time.
1:32.6	Welcome to the fiction writing made easy podcast. My name is Savannah Gilbo and I'm here to
1:37.7	help you write a story that works. I want to prove to you that writing a novel doesn't

1:48.2	strategies that you can implement in your writing right away.
