I'm thinking of the Yankton Bucks, a football team. A couple seasons ago, they felt defeated, but not out of the game. A talk on the bus, after a loss, changed their entire perspective. They determined to win.
Win they did. The next season they won every game and even the championship. What if they didn't have the bump in the road?
When writing a novel, the book needs a bump in the road or two. A defining moment when everything changes. The lie the protagonists believes is challenged, and now he has to face it. In my book, Night to Knight, Mark has to face the fact he has failed, his teen daughter is in trouble, and his marriage is suffering. -The bump in the road. What he does after this will determine success or failure.
Same with real life. Bumps in the road need only be a season change. View them as such and your life will be enriched.
