At the heart of my books, I’ve realized, lies a commonality. They all have the potential to make readers think, “I wish that could have been me!”

But where was that element in my WIP? Nowhere. Invisible. Non-existent. My partial was utterly heartless.

And yet, last night’s realization is completely exciting. I’d become somewhat disillusioned with my idea, skeptical of my ability to turn this WIP into a worthy story. But from the moment I made that diagnosis, I have new hope. Already I know my MC’s purpose and his payoff. And I’m excited about his prognosis.
