File this under âsuper obvious yet I always seem to forget it.â
I donât write romance (I totally respect people who do, though!) but this is also great writing advice in general! What is preventing the protagonist from achieving their goal?
Why canât these two people be together now?
Why canât the mystery be solved now?
Why canât they overthrow the evil overlord now?
If you donât have a solid answer for these questions, thatâs a good indicator that the plot could use some more work.
