Probably a silly question, but does anyone else struggle with figuring out a way to fill in plot holes? I feel like I'm never able to find a satisfying way to resolve them.
I bring this up because I was trying to figure out a way for my MC to have unknowingly been frozen in time for hundreds of years as a baby. For the past couple of weeks, I've been trying to figure out a way to make magic somehow able to freeze time without it being abused by everyone else in the story. Then it hit me a few minutes ago that the whole "time freezing" thing is just... really dumb. And I only came up with it to try and fill another plot hole! I've also realized that it happens to me quite frequently where I make plot holes that have literally no chance of being filled. Now I have to start from scratch with that whole plot point. Of course, this is all part of the process but it's really annoying, LOL.
If anyone else finds themself with frequent plot holes, how long does it usually take for you to resolve them? And how do you go about finding ways to resolve them? I'm thinking I maybe failed to properly build the world and now I'm left with inconsistencies.
