Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

You sit in your study, surrounded by the familiar comforts of your writing space. The sun casts a golden glow through the window, illuminating the stack of papers and notebooks that clutter the desk. You've been writing for months, but as you look over the pages, a sense of uncertainty washes over you. The story you envisioned has taken shape, but it feels... incomplete. You wonder, what is the core purpose of this narrative? What deeper meaning do you want to convey? The first step is to peel back the layers of your story, much like peeling an onion. Begin by asking yourself a series of reflective questions.
