A practical tip for finishing long-form fiction
One of the most useful shifts I’ve seen in long-form fiction is separating writing time from problem-solving time.
When a scene isn’t working, many writers try to force it on the page. Instead, stepping back to identify what the scene is meant to do, move the plot, deepen a relationship, escalate stakes, often resolves the block faster than rewriting the same pages repeatedly.
Clear intent makes consistency much easier, especially in the middle of a novel or series.
If this resonates and you’re working on a longer project, I’m always happy to talk through story challenges privately, sometimes a short conversation is all it takes to unlock momentum.
