Jeannine: That’s an idea that I sometimes do on paper when I have conservations with my character or I write in my character’s persona to figure out the issue. But I’m all down for laying down too. And if a nap happens, then I’m with you—that’s definitely okay too.

Hey Karen when doubt creeps in for me (as it always does) I find that laying down always helps. I lay down and have a little conversation with my main character. I tell them that if they want their story told they need to speak to me. I ask them questions and then just lay there listening and breathing. More often then no, I get a response, and if you fall asleep, that is okay too!!!

Very inspirational, thank you for sharing. I’m feeling the same way myself lately, and it’s so nice to know someone else is there with me. Hopefully both of us will start clawing our ways out shortly.
