I had a brutal week stuck on how to write Chapter 35. Couldn’t feel Anna Jane’s POV and perspective at all. Went back in and discovered I had gone off track in Chapter 4 (!) and had been phoning it in ever since. Had to construct a complete bio for Anna Jane before I could figure out her emotional throughline.  I may still not have it right, but I got enough to understand how she feels in Chapter 35. Feels like a breakthrough. Thank you, Shonda Rhimes, for one of your best pieces of advice — know who you’re writing about.
