Your scenes could use some oomph. The plot meanders. Your characters aren’t facing enough challenges. The story needs more of something… but what?
It needs friction.
That’s what makes your characters squirm, tightens your plot tighten, and keeps your readers turning those pages until well past bedtime.
And you don’t need an outline to get it right.
