"Write a challenge to your future self"
When writing a story, you dont have to have all the answers. You can write something that sounds intriguing so you challenge your future self. Then you can expand upon a small phrase into a whole world.
Ursula K. LeGuin did this in the Earthsea series, writing about the Tombs of Atun without knowing what they meant.
Its a way of Writing-From-the-Subconscious
A writer sometimes writes a message for herself, to be read when she begins to understand it. [[ Ursula K. LeGuin ]] Via [[ Robin-Sloan ]] [[ https://omnivore.app/me/https-www-robinsloan-com-moonbound-challenge-to-herself-18f058efd46#98bb3904-6dcd-44b2-91d8-9aea9fbbf151 ]] ^98bb3904
