Sometimes you just have to let go and write not worrying about how it looks or sounds on the page. Yesterday I finished the first draft of my next Cain Western Life Is Cheap and I did just that. I kept a nice pace of 800 words a day and completed it in about two weeks.
I found it very liberating to just write. I think my brain appreciated it as well. Truth be told, the mind works better without a muzzle or a filter and it is good to trust it once in awhile.
In a week or so, I will go back over the story and my wife will also take a crack at it. Then we can both look at each other and wonder what the hell I was thinking when I wrote such and such a sentence.
