		<description>Hi Deb,

I tend to do both kinds of writing, sit down and shoot, and sit and ponder and carefully write. 

I would love a stream-of-consciousness recorder to grab all the thoughts constantly running around in my head so I wouldn&#039;t lose so many before I can get them down on paper or into the computer. I carry a notebook and write notes quickly on scraps of paper, but it&#039;s still not quick enough for some of those fleeting ideas that I&#039;d like to remember and research further.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for a great article,
Sherri

		<description>Hi Deb,

I tend to work more efficiently when I just sit down and go with my idea - almost like being under a time pressure. When I&#039;m &quot;forced&quot; to produce, it helps me focus, otherwise I want to sit there and proofread forever.

I&#039;m also trying something new - voice writing software. It&#039;s really cool and it helps me when the words don&#039;t flow through the pen or keyboard.

		<description>@Sol--I&#039;m a big fan of editing, but probably don&#039;t edit myself as much as I should. I find that it depends on how well the words were flowing in the first place. If they flowed reasonably well, I usually just look for things like typos, but if every word was a struggle and the thoughts had to be wrestled onto the page, well, they need rehabilitation. You have to clean up after a fight, you know!

@Jan--It&#039;s so nice to hear that somebody else has the same issue with clutter that I do. I HATE working with clutter. I find that it&#039;s like my brain is keeping mental tabs of everything on the desk. &quot;I&#039;ll do this first, then that, but that pile over there can wait...&quot; The more that&#039;s on my desk, the busier my mind is trying to keep track of everything. If the desk is clear, then I can focus.</description>

		<description>I find that I am much more productive if I have projects and things ready to go (that includes a clean desk, nothing scatters my thinking more than a cluttered desk). I am inclined to never get going if I allow &quot;prep&quot; time and that is why I am much farther ahead if I don&#039;t open my email first thing, but I do anyway most days. Bad!

		<description>I always have my two computers running. I rarely do any significant editing of my writing. Sometimes, though, I have to think for a good long while to find the right word.
