great share OP, thanks!
this is typical of writers. the author went about, from thought to thought, without giving a real practical advice. i guess, this style of teaching resonates with some people. but it somewhat saddens me.
a single practical thing stood out for me. that everything from the beginning of the story leading to a particular ending. that, and the story of the missing page.
now, i am surprised the most practical advice anyone can give was missing. word count, anyone?
