Even my own notes ridicule me

Here's another glimpse into my brain. Apparently I wrote this note for myself when I was working on my book yesterday (writing, not editing):

I will have to figure out if she tries to trap him or just tries to get him to tell her the truth. If they have to prove he’s guilty, she would almost have to get a confession. So then the play’s the thing, etc. 

Yes, I'm making fun of myself by quoting Shakespeare. This seems to show both my nerdiness and insecurity quite well. Even my own notes ridicule me. 

Ugh

When you're writing creatively, you kind of have to put all your editor tendencies aside and just get something down on paper. Even if it's horrible, you can always go back and edit later. If you try to edit while you go you'll never get anything done. I've learned this over the years.

The problem is that when I have writer's block, my "just get something down on paper" writing gets pretty rough. Basically, it consists of dialog, people looking at things, and pauses. Apparently writer's block zaps me of the ability to describe things. It's actually pretty funny, if a little sad.

I just keep reminding myself it worked for Stephenie Meyer.
