Plus, if you went back to longhand, you could sort of edit while you type it up, couldn't you?
Exactly. It's like getting a free editorial pass.
Yeah, I think I'm just going to have to commit to at least one three-hour-minimum writing excursion a week. When I'm committed, I get a lot done. I was there only an hour on Wednesday (waiting for my sister to meet me so we could buy sheets) and I wrote four pages. So I will do what you tell me to do, hee. :D
I could just put the German words if I can't come up with the translation
I totally do a variation on that! I was letting myself get stuck if I couldn't think of what something was called or the right word or a synonym for something. Like, it would be like if I hit a wall or something. I would just be done. Anymore when that happens, I just [put it in brackets] and come back to it later. (Though of course you have to make sure you DO actually come back to it later!) It works pretty well for me, though sometimes I do find myself continuing to try and figure it out anyway.
