Indeed… works fine
If I could find any time to myself, this would be it for me, for better or for worse …
I love this. I’m not a sprinter, as Draug says. I’m the marathon girl. But I love and respect this way, too.
I’m working on longer distances. 🙂
I wish. I’m a marathon writer. Even the tiny 33 word Trifecta prompts take me hours. I agonize over every. word.
When I start agonizing, I think it’s not the right time for whatever I’m trying to write. Maybe it’s not ripe yet or it’s just not the right angle. If I leave and come back to it later, it always works out better.
Yes, I’m a bit of a sprinter too so I know this feeling.
indeed – splurge and purge 🙂
Jealous.
Don’t be. It results in a lot of junk. lol
Ha, this one I totally get.
Another fast writer?
Yup 😉 if I don’t sit down and bang it right out, I’m not in the right place to write anything worthwhile
So much better than “none at all” 🙂
Yes – it is!
so much better than “all at twice” 🙂
Indeed.
BRAVO…a woman who gets it done!
TGIF
Thanks. Always in a hurry, here. 🙂
Interesting choice! For me the ‘all at once ‘ then needs lots of editing.
I’m a terrible editor. Always on to the next thing. A skill I need to learn.
There’s a freedom in that, for sure!
There is, for sure!
Oh how I wish I could write anything all at once. Good one
Flush it out, and then go back to make sense of it all.
