Writing the manuscript from professional advice - not so much. <br/><br/>I like the seed theory.

The middle in my draft isn’t too saggy but I need develop what happened in Act I and how it will lead to Act III.

My main character lives with two different foster families and there probably needs to be more conflict between these two families.
