Right, it's important that you have to express what you want to say, and the things that you need to express to your readers. Hear the voice within yourself and express it through writing!

The less we're critical of our crazy word patterns, the more likely we are to develop our unique writing voices which should flow naturally and freely. PS - I just looked at your writing blog and want to congratulate you on your submissions!

This is probably my biggest writer's block. I am my own worse critic and it has cause me to stumble on more occasions that I care to admit. I feel better now in that it is alright to write whatever comes to mind without any thoughts to grammar and pattern.

It is essential to get the first draft done before the editor kicks in. There's plenty of time later for changes. Thanks for comments, Mer and Jon.

I know plenty of writers who spend so long editing and fiddling around with the first draft of articles and stories, that by the time they've got 1000 words or so completed they've forgotten what their original idea was.
