This week, you're taking your characters from their current day-to-day life to their decision to go after their external goal.
What to write today
Today, you're finishing up the debate [11,667–13,336 words]. You'll end today with your characters feeling like they have purpose and drive. They are motivated:
A mentor might provide your protagonist with some of the tools or training they need to accept the call.
Refresh your reader's memory of the central theme or question of the story.
Have your protagonist accept the call to adventure, either willingly or begrudgingly.
Want a different sort of prompt? Set something on fire. 🔥
Update your running editorial note
At the end of the day make a note of any off-course deviations, potential inconsistencies, areas to research further, or moments of inspiration to revisit when you edit in December/January.
