So for my writing group “The so called writing life” I am reading an article in which the author says “…don’t edit as you write. That’s like criticizing the taste of the tomatoes as you’re still planting the seeds….”

I agree. First drafts are all about the barf. Just get it out. You inhibit yourself when you are too worried of how it comes out.You can’t shape the barf in your stomach but you can shape it once its out and on the table.

Does this all sound disgusting? Don’t be such a prude. “Life” is organic and disgusting with all of its blood and burps and shit. Writing is breathing “life” into an idea. Just remember even the cuties babies are disgusting burping shitting pissing little creations. Now go enjoy yourself. 🙂
