SECTION A: GOAL OVERVIEW

I will write, edit, and self-publish a 50-page short story on Amazon KDP within 90 days, achieving minimum 10 reviews from readers.

SECTION B: BREAKDOWN OF STEPS

Month 1 (Days 1-30): Outline complete story (3-act structure), write first draft (200 words/day minimum = 6,000+ words), develop characters.
Month 2 (Days 31-60): Complete first draft (target 12,000-15,000 words), self-edit for plot holes, send to 3 beta readers for feedback.
Month 3 (Days 61-90): Incorporate feedback, hire editor for proofread ($100 budget), design cover on Canva, format for KDP, publish, promote in writing communities.

SECTION C: EVIDENCE COLLECTION PLAN

1. Daily word count screenshots from Google Docs — weekly compilation showing writing progress.
2. Beta reader feedback emails — screenshots showing completed reviews from 3 readers.
3. Editor invoice and revision notes — proof of professional editing service.
4. Live Amazon KDP link — published story with ISBN, cover image, description visible.
5. Reader reviews screenshots — minimum 10 verified Amazon reviews.

SECTION D: POTENTIAL OBSTACLES & SOLUTIONS

Writer's block → use writing prompts, change location (coffee shop), set timer for 25-minute sprints.
Negative beta feedback → treat as learning, revise weak chapters, consider plot restructure if needed.
Low review count → share in r/writing, offer free copies to book bloggers, engage in Goodreads groups.
