Ok, so I’m writing a novel, but I’m stuck on this one part. The hero just cracked a code, and… I can’t figure out how to continue the plot. So do y’all have any ideas to push through? Thanks

Of course this is for your whole novel. The outline is slightly pliable, though so don’t let it constrict you.

Thanks, this helped a bit. I’m terrible at outlines, so maybe I’ll follow this now.

It’s a spy story, so basically they intercepted the message from the other side.

Could another secret agent try to stop your MC. They could kind of have a running feud through the book.

What does the code say (I’m assuming this is a coded message…if not, there could be one)? Whatever it says could set off the next line of events.

INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.

It says ‘prepare for war’.
