Analysis
Family event preps took the week, basically. Just enough time to get an anthology published. No writing, no real editing. Either working and sweating or recovering from it.
Tomorrow is to be the hottest day of the year so far.
Keep this short and keep on schedule. Nothing to write about anyway.
Tip:
Did find this — What you read and watch (movies/TV) will train your Unconscious in those plots. Reading gives you better vocabulary as well — if you need more. And you pull from your entire lifetime experience. Marketers tell you to read/watch the most popular materials, since these will immerse you in what people want and expect. That immersion is what trains your Unconscious to give you the inspiration you need. That also then points to simply writing straight-ahead and trusting your mind to give you the words and story you need. When you need it.
That ideal is “writing the movie playing in your mind.”
