Murder Diaries: Ep. 8

Exciting discoveries in my notebook

How does our unconscious mind know so much?

This week, I flipped through an earlier draft I’d handwritten and was delighted to find loads of material that would work in this draft. It just goes to show that just because I’ve had new insights about the character, pieces from earlier versions can still work.

Often, my unconscious or subconscious mind has been on board with these changes long before my conscious mind catches up. It’s the coolest thing.

Here’s what I cover in this week’s episode:

• Mining my notebooks for additional material.

• Current reads that are inspiring my writing.

• How to adjust your writing schedule to account for your most (or least) preferred season.

• The next steps for the coming week.
