Write Your Novel Intuitively
Let me get one thing straight: I’m an advocate for whatever works. However, after writing my story organically, I was in a state of wonderment over the way the storyline unfolded on its own.

You don’t need heightened psychic tendencies to use this approach. It’s about listening to your inner voice and being guided by it.
