I firmly believe the subconscious does work for you while you are doing other things. We’ve all had ideas come to us seemingly out of the blue. I’m having those kinds of thoughts all day long, often fully formed extensions of the story I’m working on. Now that I have been consciously writing every day (or trying to) I’ve written more back story in my head than ever before, and I know it is because I am working more consistently than ever before.
Is our subconscious like our metabolism? When it gets exercise does it work better while in rest? Or maybe it kicks into gear when there is something left unresolved in our conscious mind. Either way, the secret to getting work done by your subconscious is consistently working on it consciously!
