There’s a Marsupial in My Manuscript!

A little writing hack that might save you some time:

When you get to a stopping point for the day, or when you get to a part of your manuscript that isn’t working, insert a marsupial.

By this I mean actually type in the word MARSUPIAL–or some other word you’re not likely to use in your book–in all caps. (If you’re writing a book about marsupials, definitely find another word.) Later, when you come back to your book to write some more, you can do a quick search for your unusual word and save yourself the time of having to scroll through to find your last stopping point.

Just a little something that has saved me some time over the years. Anyone else have a writing hack to share?
