  • 2.15 The Unconscious Mind
    Jun 17 2024

    Hello friends, and welcome back to 5 Writers 5 Minutes.

    This week, the team chats about connecting and trusting the unconscious mind— the part of you that uses intuition to create a story.
    How do you connect to your unconscious mind? Are you someone who sits down to write with only a very loose plan or do you spend a good chunk of your time planning your story before even sitting down to write?
