It’s part 5 of our “How To Plot Your Novel” video series, and I’m excited to talk about the second half of Act Two.

Last week, we discussed the first half of the Second Act, leading up to the Midpoint or “Mirror Moment” of your novel. Today, we are going to talk about what happens after the Midpoint of the novel all the way through to the Second Doorway of No Return.

      I have been self-publishing my books since 2010, and in that time, I've sold well over half a million copies of my books. I'm not a superstar or a huge bestseller, but I have built an amazing career that brings me great joy. Here at Heart Breathings, I hope to help you find that same level of success. Let's do this.
