I will be referencing my notes any time I get stuck writing. At first, this way of thinking about a story was a little nebulous, but by the time I hit what I now realize is the midpoint, things started clicking; those first few chapters are groundwork - foundation, wires and pipes - so that the rest of the advise structure can function.
