DAY 1
Do not write a compressed novel.
A protracted version of a hero’s journey can sound trite and simplistic in only a few thousand words.

Think about one moment of great change or epiphany.
Trust the reader to ‘write’ large sections of the story, especially what happens to the main character after the text has finished.
