Plot the Story Plot

Welcome to Plot the Story Plot, a channel for writers who love storytelling but hate the writing process. Whether you're battling writer's block, self-doubt, perfectionism, creative burnout, or simply trying to finish your novel, you're in good company. Writing is hard... even when you love it.

I'm Stephanie, a fellow writer, overthinker, and recovering notebook addict. Alongside my best friend Kayla, we explore the struggling side of writing through our podcast, Writing Sucks... But I Love It. These conversations are about our real writing life: the emotional ups and downs, storytelling mishaps, and the messy journey from first draft to finished manuscript. If you've ever questioned whether you're good enough, bought another notebook instead of finishing your book, or wondered how every other writer has it all figured out... Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine), embrace the chaos, and let's survive this writing journey together, one messy draft at a time.
