Retell a turning point and name your next chapter
Whena recent change makes you reconsider your story
Choose an everyday turning point you are willing to revisit. Write what happened, what you chose and what remains unresolved. Give the next chapter a name, then describe the first scene you can actually enter this week.
Start tiny
Write what changed and one next scene.

A difficult chapter does not need a silver lining to belong in your story.
SafetyChoose a manageable event; stop or switch topics if revisiting it is overwhelming.
