t undoes the ingrained habit of editing at the same time you are trying to produce. It will make writing less blocked because words will come more easily

unacceptable thoughts and feelings
Reminds me to think about the process of thought, to act of writing, to having a completely written body whatever size it may be and the inherent amount of time it all requires (in relation to the speed of thought). Writing is always circular in its progression, a lot of revisiting things that will ultimately be removed, replaced, or otherwise revised.

just about done--relief? maybe.
Genuinely one of the most relatable things I've ever read. Personally I at least type the way I speak.
