So I like to write a little bit, I've done stints in rehabs and blah blah blah....but whenever I set off on what I feel is a great idea I hit a bump and lose interest. Any hints/tricks to keeping yourself motivated to write?

Stopped reading there.

the trick is overriding your internal editor -- tell the impulse that says to stop and fix stuff to shut the fuck up and get out as much as you can at a time

then take a little bit and go back and revise to your heart's content

The trick is to post your work on lit for critique.

So, what does this have to do with the rest of the post?

It gives me an edge. I've been through hell and back and i'm still standing. I have something worthwhile to say.

guess who else thinks he/she has something worthwhile to say:

yes, about every person who wrote or attempted to write anything ever

stop using your messed up bio like a weird tattoo... it only makes you edgy in a very trivial sense

I would argue with you but I have to go to my African basket weaving class. Catch you on the flip-side baby girl.

I wondered why I put that in myself, bahahaha, regardless, it's there, oh well.
