Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
You sit at your desk, the worn wooden surface cool against your fingertips. The sun casts a golden glow through the window, but your mind is elsewhere. You’ve been staring at the blank screen for what feels like hours, the cursor blinking like a taunting eye. You’ve heard about the power of practice, but the thought of sitting down to write again feels daunting. It’s as if you’re staring into a bottomless pit, and every step forward is met with doubt and hesitation.
