Writer's Fallout Shelter

I get a little OCD about words, sometimes - not so much entire scenes.

I worked out a compromise with myself, during NaNoWriMo. I didn't force myself to write without editing, because that just makes me want to give up in disgust. But for everything I edited down or out, I had to add that in addition to my daily word count.

I get stuck on stupid things like opening sentences. Or transitions. Not that transitions are hard, but they are sort of boring necessities - a way to get from here to there when all you really want to do is teleport and have done with it. Or endings - trying to wrap everything up and stick a bow on it LONG before it's a "book." (This is why so many of my stories have O. Henry type endings - I get bored. I want to end things, and quickly. Like, right now. And as I wish for resolution, it comes to me. Sadly. I may never be a novelist at this rate. I much prefer writing short stories, because I have such a short attention span when it comes to my own writing.)
