Writing a novel isn't rocket science, but it's hard work...really hard work. Conveying a protagonist's journey in a cohesive series of plot points across hundreds of pages can feel overwhelming. Remind yourself that the first draft—or even the second draft—doesn't have to be perfect. Give yourself the freedom to write the words your fingers want to type. Trust your mind, and the story will come together. You may even discover that you're meant to be a novelist!
