Middle-Book Plot Fixes & POV Breakthroughs | Writing Retreat Week 2

14 hours ago

Welcome back to my solo writing retreat! In Week 1, I made the huge decision to turn my novel into a trilogy, but I was left with a major problem: a very thin plot for Book 2. This week, everything changed.

I went from plot panic to a series of creative breakthroughs that have completely amped up my story. In this update, I'm sharing the exact moments of discovery and the lessons I learned along the way. If you're struggling with "middle book syndrome," character POV, or how to use AI in your writing process, this video is for you.

**IN THIS VIDEO, YOU'LL LEARN:**
* How I filled out a weak middle-book plot with two brand-new subplots and a major plot device.
* The timely discovery about Point-of-View (POV) that forced me to make a critical structural decision for the entire trilogy.
* My new POV plan: from 2 POVs in Book 1, to 3 in Book 2, and 4 in Book 3.
* A crucial, practical tip for using AI assistants for creative work that I learned the hard way (hint: it's all about context!).

Thanks for following my writing journey! It means the world to me.
