I ran across the site Write or Die the other day, and figured I’d give it a try.  It is pretty amazing what can happen when you light a fire under you own toes.  It’s a simple yet effective “stay focused” tool for writing.

There is a time to write aggressively, to generate quantity.   No, it’s not a substitute for planning, or for deliberate, thoughtful editing, but a flat out writing sprint can generate lots of good stuff that can be pared properly later.
