You must learn to overcome your very natural
and appropriate revulsion for your own work.


- William Gibson


Ah - the inner editor, the in-house critic, the little troll that sits on one's shoulder and whispers words that feed our raging insecurities as writers: terrible, bad, stupid, boring... It's often hard to ignore but ignore it we must because the really important thing you are doing right now is writing out the rough version of your story which most assuredly includes all of the awkward and unpolished stuff that you'll rework and polish later, to make the story shine. But for now, send the troll out on a snipe hunt and write!write!write!

Today's word count is 14,516! Questions? Comments? Snipe sightings to pass along to our inner critics? It's all good! Keep writing!
