about changing it to this," and so on.

  No matter what I do I can't shut it up. How many other writers out
there suffer from the same malady?


*Malady*?

I'd say that's a sign of wanting to write something good, rather than
writing the way it comes out.  Some people need another person to help them
with this, others can do it themselves.  I'd say it's a good thing, and
wouldn't want to stifle it, were I you.
