Must… edit…

finishing up NaNoWriMo day 2, or maybe starting day 3 depending on how you want to look at it.  It didn’t look like I was going to get a chance to write at all then I managed to get almost two solid hours in.  5,488 words and I’m falling asleep at the keys.  Unfortunately, it is absolutely killing me to write without editing (not including spelling and minor-obvious grammar issues).  Anyone else have that issue? A nagging voice that keeps reminding you that you need to stop and review every few paragraphs?

Most of what I’ve posted online are partially edited and stripped versions (versions that get to the point and “skip the scenery”) of what I write offline (for many reasons).  For every hour I spend writing, I spend two editing and re-editing and re-re-editing.  Now with a word count target, I’ve promised to stick to writing and defer editing, re-editing, etc, until the end.

OCD is fighting me every word of the way and I’m pretty sure I will end up losing eventually.
