💡Writing Tip: Your plot should test your character—not just physically, but emotionally & morally.
Readers remember stories where characters are changed by their choices.
What’s one moment in your WIP where your protagonist has to make a difficult decision?

Craft Tip: Tension doesn’t always come from high stakes—it comes from uncertainty.
Try these 3 ways to build tension in a quiet scene:
1️⃣ Withhold key information from the character.
2️⃣ Let the setting work against them.
3️⃣ Introduce conflicting goals between characters.
How do you build tension?
