Once I ghosted my novel's continuity...

Once I ghosted my novel's continuity...

Here’s what happened: I was 10,000 words in and realized I had given my protagonist, Zaid, a scar over his left eye in Chapter 5, but I was writing a dramatic scene where he was shielding his right eye. I spent two full days scrolling through the manuscript, trying to find the original mention, completely breaking my creative flow and nearly abandoning the draft out of sheer frustration. The ghost of that forgotten scar haunted every paragraph.

Here’s what I learned: Context switching kills creativity. Relying on manual memory for a cast of 50 characters is a recipe for plot holes and burnout. The real problem wasn't the scar; it was the lack of an integrated system to manage the multitude of details.

Now I use an integrated AI writing editor that keeps a real-time character and plot index in the sidebar so it doesn’t haunt me again. I can instantly check any detail without leaving the page.
