If I find myself stuck on a passage, then I make a note and jump ahead to the next point I've already plotted out. My other go-to is to jump to another story idea I have.

It was a lot more work than I realized (even pre-scheduling my posts), but I'm happy with how it all turned out. I loved making all of my graphics and posts. I didn't quite get all the engagement I was hoping Read more of this blog post »
