The Inner Game of Hypnotic Writing
screen your mind won’t be able to edit your work. (Some new soft- ware comes with a built-in program to prevent you from seeing the screen as you write. See www.HypnoticWriting Wizard.com)
Step Three: Trust What Happens
Everything in life is—or can be—a learning experience. Even if you don’t write the draft you think you want to write, you will write something. And you will learn something in the process. Accept that.
Trusting Self Two, the Master Writer, means being willing to ex- periment. By letting the Master Writer within you come through and direct, or influence, your writing you will be giving yourself the opportunity to learn, to grow, to expand, and to enrich your writing.
Trust the inner game approach to writing. Allow words to flow through you. Don’t edit them. You’ve set your goal. You’ve focused on something in the moment to keep the editor inside quiet. And you wrote something as a result—probably something surprising and maybe even spectacular. Self Two came through!
Self Two probably already helps you in your writing. Whenever you think you want to write a larger work, say a novel, you usually have a sense of the whole project. You don’t have the complete idea in your mind, only a sense that it will be a novel. Well, how do you know it’s a novel and not a short story? Somehow your feeling— where is it coming from?—lets you know your idea is going to be a book. You haven’t begun the book and haven’t even thought much about it. But it feels like a novel and not a story.
Whom are you trusting? What part of you is telling you, “This is a book!”? Isn’t it the Master Writer within you?
