We have a need to finish what we started. But sometimes, finishing that sentence before the end of a writing session is a death sentence to a story.
Why?
Because when we come back the next day, we’re no longer in synch with the story. Our mood has changed, our energy is different.
We were in it the day before, what happened?
We closed a thought.
Leaving a thought open by not completing the last sentence in a writing session is a great way to trigger the synch the following day.
Becuase you’ll read: Then Jeff left the house, slamming
And you’ll remember what he was slamming . . .the door.
I don’t know where I first heard this tip, but it is one I forget too often. If you can’t finish a story or a chapter, but have to get back into that world, deleting the last few words has helped me a lot in a pinch. I just have to remember to do it.
