Inspiration still flowing...

Another 1200 words in the last two days. Slower going but still amazing. A lot more pouring into my mind than committed to text yet. I had to get past my resistence to some aspects of the story.

[livejournal.com profile] uncledark was helpful in this regard. He reminding me that I am not editing the book, I am writing it. I guess so many years as an editor tends to get in the way sometimes. I keep worrying about shocking my "audience." Of course, my job is to tell the story not to decide what others will think of it. Gotta remember that. Tell the story, editing can come later. Much later.

Back to work.

I do that: I tend to edit my work as I go. It often results in very slow output, and frequently none at all.
Just write. Tell the story. Get the words out. Editing is something you can think about later. Write.

I do that in everyday messaging; I'll correct as I go.

I have a language class in school and I'm going to make full use of it!!
