Synopsis of the book:
Sixteen-year-old Brianna had everything she wanted: money to ski all over the world, underlings to do her bidding, and parents who gave her every freedom — as long as she played by their rules. But when she’s busted shoplifting and assigned to the chain gang, she ditches her shallow ways and realizes being herself is easier than manipulating people.
Forced to partner with kids she’d never dream of befriending — including Xavier, a boy who makes her pulse go into hyperdrive — Brianna vows to be a better person. Breaking Old Brianna’s habits isn’t easy, but her infatuation with Xavier — someone her parents would never approve of — motivates her to keep trying. Even when he convinces her to trade her swanky skis for a beat-up snowboard.
Brianna lets go of her need to control everything and finally starts to feel free — until her past threatens to jeopardize her first real chance at love. She discovers balancing on the edge is as challenging in life as it is in snowboarding, and when a new friend is in trouble, Brianna must decide between the superficial things that used to be her world and putting her friend’s safety before herself.

Those who are pantsers (who write by the seat of the pants, rather than outlining a story) can run into a problem that outliners don’t encounter as much: the story stalling.
It’s happened to every pantser at least once, where they’re in a groove, the story is moving along nicely, and then bam, nothing seems to work. Everything they want to write seems flat or the story just doesn’t move in a compelling way anymore. So, if you’re a pantser and your story has stalled, here a couple of things to try to get your writing mojo flowing again.
