The secret to writing is rewriting. Expecting a great draft each and every time is not realistic. It's so much easier to allow yourself to write badly and then fix it. Otherwise the cursor on the computer will just blink, blink, blink while you wait for genius to strike!

Writing is thinking on paper. Allowing yourself to think (and type) and then rethink (and type again) leads to deeper thoughts and clearer writing.

Everyone has their own writing habits. Find what works for you and sit down and write.
