The only problem with letting your unconscious solve a hole in your plot is that it most likely will reveal the solution to you just as you’re falling asleep. If you don’t get it down, it’ll be buried by morning. So I wake myself up enough to dictate some notes and close my eyes. Either I’ll fall asleep now peacefully or I’ll get the next idea and this could rinse and repeat for a while. But in the end, I’m always glad I did it. #WritingLife #Writing #Plot #amwriting #WritingPlot #firstdraft #PlotHole #writinganovel #writingprocess #hypnogogia #susandirende #knifewitch #creativity #creativeinspiration
