WEEK 3 | I can finally see the finish line | solo writing retreat vlog

This is the week it all clicked. After wrestling with outlines and worldbuilding, the first draft of my book is no longer a distant dream—it's a destination I can finally see. Welcome to my week 3 writing retreat recap!

So what happened in week 3 to cause such a massive breakthrough? It was a week of big decisions and massive progress. I finally finished outlining the entire climax of my final book, solidified my antagonist's character arc, and got my series codex to a place where the world feels completely solid and real. In this writing vlog, I'm taking you through the process of how tidying up my worldbuilding and outlining the final scenes of my book suddenly made the entire path to finishing the first draft clear. Every decision, from adding a new magical item in Book 1 to clarifying a character detail, started connecting. For the first time, I can truly visualize the journey to "The End."

If you've ever felt lost in the middle of your novel, I hope this chatty writing vlog gives you a boost of motivation! ✨
