Weslea doesn't really have a plan. I think he's good at planning, as shown by the fact he and the twins were ready for him being displaced by Elaine, and the fact he knew where he had to GO.

From there, however, he didn't 🧵

Fellow writers, a quick reminder:

Failure is a badge of honor, because most people don’t even try.

So write the thing. Even if you’re not certain.

Especially if you’re not certain.

It might work out. It might not. Either way, you’ll be glad you tried. 🙏
