My Goodreads Challenge & Other Tales
Mailer November 1
Hi, !
I FINISHED my Goodreads challenge! I'm so happy!
Given all the writing I had to do this year (writing a new 6-book series, launching a weekly blog, and reviving my newsletter), I opted to set a reasonable goal of 52 books. I felt a book a week was manageable. Turns out I was right! I finished my challenge with over two months to spare 🥳

HOW TO PUSH THROUGH THE MIDPOINT
THE DREADED MIDDLE
Ah, the dreaded middle. Every writer knows it well. It’s that sinking feeling you get when you hit the midpoint of your book and everything suddenly feels impossible. When the excitement that propelled you through the beginning has vanished and the end feels like a distant dream.
Take heart. At least you are not alone. If the start of a novel is a love affair, and the end is a victory march, then the middle is the grind—the part where the honeymoon is over, and it’s time to dig in and do whatever you can to stay on track. Plus, I have some great news for you. As part of my book writing guide, this article will show you that the middle doesn’t have to be a wasteland of wandering plotlines and waning momentum! It could be an opportunity to raise the stakes and flesh out your characters.
That's all for this week, I hope you have a fabulous weekend <3
