The editor should be turned off for the first draft and then after you're done with it, you can let the internal hacker go at it and fix it.

I'm still hoping to get something in. I'll try to work on it tomorrow. :D

As pixydust says - ideally, for the first draft, the editor isn't allowed to talk!

Me, I tend to write in an outline fashion - I often write my ending before the middle, and fill in whichever parts the muse DOES feel inspired to write as she's playing nice. Then the real work comes in filling the gaps when she's not.

hehe, i know it may sound strange to some, but i dream my story in my head for weeks before i start writing. I let all the ideas and influences come streaming in and imagine how I'd like it to be. I let myself become those characters, feel what they feel...then when i think, "ok lets get this onto some paper" i then start. -Usually i then come a cross a ton of problems...like the story doesn't match up, or it gets too complicated, so i then sit for a few days to try and work it out.
I think my trouble is once Ive written, i then re-read and have to make so many alterations, to the point that I'm too embarrassed to show it to people. I think i worry what everyone will think! lol i mean all that stuffs come from my head right, if it makes no sense then people may start to worry about me ....what am i saying, they already do!!! ^_^ "being different is something to be proud of" -that's what i keep telling myself! hehe! :D ...gosh I'm talking too much! ;D -I'll go crawl back under my toadstool!! xxx
