Lack of words

I haven't really managed to write anything in the past two days. I'm fiddling with Body Double. Steph gave me a line that makes a better ending that what I had, so I'm trying to fix it. I am going to my first serious workshop tonight and I leave in a few hours. I'm a bit nervous.

Now that I've made this decision I've noticed that the ideas are still flowing, but the words aren't. It's almost easier to start a new story rather than edit an old one. I think I'll try to slam out a few thousand words of a new story every day. I'll just take a list of ideas and start typing. One thing I fear is that once I type or write something down, it's out of my head and I don't think about it much after that. I suppose it's natural to do a lot of pre-writing in my head. I've always done that (much to the dismay of various Writing teachers over the years) but I need to work on the craft of gettng words out and fixing them, unless I discover a way to get them out right the first time
