This week, you're taking your characters from their decision to go after their external goal, to the highest point in the story.
What to write today
Today, you're writing the wrap up following battle 1 [21,671–23,338 words]:
Allow your characters to regroup after battle 1. Where does this leave them concerning their external goals?
Consider where this leaves each character in their character arc. Have they moved closer to their internal goal, or further away?
How does the outcome of battle 1 affect your sub-plot? Bring these consequences into play before you hit the mid-point.
Want a different sort of prompt? One of your characters cracks open a fortune cookie... 🥠
