Some things never change.
I frantically finished one writing portfolio today, and my brain has been jello. I have a ten or twelve page critical survey to finish for tomorrow, but I just can’t seem to get it together. Deadline: 18 hours and counting. I suppose I’ll just have to sleep on it, and see if it can’t be seemlessly composed tomorrow.
I work better that way I think. I have to have things correctly positioned inside my head before I can even begin to write. The whole idea of “freewriting” just bugs me. I never freewrite. I write when I have things to say, not when I don’t.
