surprisingly this hasn't been much of an issue for me despite there being so many moving pieces in my story.

sometimes the plot hole is so deep it's like "Ooh! look at that! The earth's core! hmm... I could use some rope... maybe a ladder."

That’s a second draft issue. We’ll get to that later…actually, you know what, that’s a third draft issue.

I usually have one of the characters explain what they did during the plot hole and that usually fixes it 🤣

I had a massive plot hole and couldn't find a way to patch it but a year later the idea strucked me and it turned out that I just had to create 7 new characters and a whole new backstory

🤔 interesting. How does one write themselves into a plot hole? And how does one identify if there are any plot holes for themselves? I’m curious because I don’t think I’ve encountered this yet

if I may make a suggestion, if you are in a corner, write the rest of the story. often your characters will solve the problem for you.

...tbh this is why I've written basically nothing. I need to figure them out first😭 I physically cannot write without figuring things out first. grammar and all that can come later but I NEED my plot

(genuine piece of advice i read once) remember: don’t think “how do i fix this?” but instead “how do i make this work?”

I will die on this hill: all plot holes can be solved by character work! If the plot is serving the character arc then you will figure it out! You may have to do some rewriting but it will be worth it!

my problem is that I always overplan for the plot holes, but then when something comes up regarding them, I can't find where I wrote the fix for it 🙃

I dreamt my way out! I guess my brain was working on it while I was asleep, because I literally dreamed how to fix it. Felt like someone else handed me a cheat sheet.

it's not a plot hole if neither I nor the characters know how it happened /j

Have a future version of one of the characters involved use a time portal to give their past self a macguffin that solves the plot hole. There is definitely nothing wrong with that solution.
