I'm spent...

[P. B. Walker]

I just tried something new and I'm glad I did. I think it was Weird Harold that posted this some time ago:

A wise and experienced writer friend of mine told me, "just let the words flow from your mind through your fingers until you run out of words. Then delete the two-thirds that is total garbage and edit the remainder into a story."

so this morning on the way to work I was daydreaming (yes, not very smart to do while driving, but oh well, I'm a horndog) and I came up with a pretty steamy story idea. So I got to work and just started typing without trying to direct the story or anything. Not worrying about punctuation or any of that shit. Just letting it flow out of me. Not getting flowery with the words, just putting down what I was thinking at that moment.

In an hour and ten minutes or so I ended up with 11 pages of text. OMG!! I'm stunned. Course, it looks like shit and is barely readable, but it's all there. I'll have to expand some of it to explain what I meant, but pretty much the entire story is there.

Now the fun of editing and re-writing... Weeeee.

Thanks Harold or whoever suggested that.
