I don't know if this has been said already, but I may as well state it. 
 I don't spam at all, so I need to fill my quota so no one else takes 
it.

	Editing yourself is a very good thing, if done in moderation.  I 
know that when I'm writing, I get going at a pretty good rate, and I 
start going back over what I've written, and then going on further, then 
go back, and so on.

	But I know that there are times when this editing instinct gets 
so bad, I'm agonizing over every word choice, and nothing is getting 
written.  That's when I just close my eyes and type.  (Damn good thing I 
can type well enough to not need to see the keyboard.)

	Writing is one third Heart, one third Soul, and one third Mind. 
 When the mind is over powering, close your eyes, and pour from the 
Heart and Soul.  Then edit.
