Trying to start third book in a trilogy and getting bogged down. Will go back to the drawing board and think again. BTW James came out to Australia last year and did an all day workshop.

Story Structure Part 4. Keeping readers interested in the objective of the POV through 80,000. words is a must and can’t be done without CONFLICT that is applied like pressure to a wound till the very end.
