Loving the last tip. I’m a planner, so have every scene on post its before I start drafting but that mid-scene finish is a really helpful one to not waste time staring at the wall the next day!

I took your workshop in May 23 at Thrillerfest and it was hugely helpful. The book is now out and doing great! Thank you!

I may be on my third novel and have a couple of novelist scout badges to my name but I'm going to try a couple of these. I'm in the middle of writing a novel on deadline in just 6 weeks (after 2 years research) and I'm terrible at going back to previous chapters rather than ploughing on. I also NEVER finish halfway through a chapter but now perhaps I will. That, quite possibly, is a revelaphony! (Revelation and epiphany)
