I’ve been quiet on this blog for a while because I’ve been doing the normal mom stuff and writing like crazy. Writing has always been a part of my normal routine since 2008, but I went into super duper writing overdrive since July and I LOVE IT. I hit deep story world. Something I’ve never experienced before. It is fabulous.
What is deep story world?
It’s hard for me to explain deep story world, but I’ll try. When I’d go to sleep I could see the pages of my manuscript in my mind’s eye. Then I could spot errors in the manusript on the exact pages where they needed to be corrected.
Or I’d hit a rough spot in a scene, and I’d worry about what to write next. Then, at the right moment in the scene as I’m typing, the right words arrive.
I loved it.
I think deep story world arrives once an individual cuts all their safety nets and goes for broke. It’s the funnest thing (I know, ‘funnest’ isn’t a word). It’s when someone writes for the sheer love of the story and labors over their work because it matters to them.
I don’t think I’ll always be able to hit deep story every time I sit down to write, but I’m thankful to know that it exists for those writers who are willing to take the plunge.
