If you've been dreaming about writing your novel but don't know where to start, or if you've

already started writing but keep getting stuck in the same cycle of overthinking, researching,

and rewriting, then I have something just for you. I'm hosting a live three-day boot camp from

January 19th through the 21st, and if you give me just 30 minutes a day for three days,

you'll walk away with a realistic finish date, clarity on your story's deeper purpose, and a logline that proves your idea works.

It's only $27 and hundreds of writers have already signed up.

Head over to savannahgilbo.com forward slash boot camp to learn more and save your spot.

Hope to see you there.

But when you develop these pieces together before you start outlining, something kind of magical happens. Each of these elements

starts to reinforce each other. So your protagonist's inner obstacle connects to your theme.

Your antagonist challenges your protagonist in exactly the right way, your plot structure

before you've written a single page in your draft. Welcome to the Fiction Writing Made Easy podcast. My name is

Savannah Gilbo, and I'm here to help you write a story that works. I want to prove to you that

writing a novel doesn't have to be overwhelming. So each week, I'll bring you a brand new

episode with simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement

in your writing right away. So whether you're brand new to writing or more of a seasoned author

looking to improve your craft, this podcast is for you. So pick up a pen and let's get started.

In today's episode, I'm sharing five signs your writing process is broken and how to fix it.

This episode is especially for you if you're someone who's been working on your novel for
