In this episode, we’ll talk about why the middle of a novel is often the hardest part to write and how to recognize whether your story is actually stuck or you’re simply tired. You’ll learn practical ways to raise the stakes, create meaningful conflict, strengthen your character’s goals, and get your story moving again—without abandoning the novel you’ve already started.
