Well I started typing last night around 10pm and looked up at the clock a little later and found I had been sent through time to 1am. I enjoyed the experience and time didn't crawl by so that's a positive. The words didn't flow as smoothly as I had hoped but I fought through it and came up with a decent 1000 words. I found the hardest part to be describing locations. The dialogue came pretty easily but trying to describe a house or an office was pretty laborious.
Looking back now I think I was focusing on getting everything perfect where I should have just poured it out and edited it on rewrites. I'm definitely going to stick with it today but I'll probably rewrite a little of last night's work.

My two cents: rewrite later. Use every new session to make new words. I have found that when I fixate on rewriting, I only rewrite and I don't write.
Looking forward to some words from you soon...
Thanks for the advice Scott. I can definitely see myself falling into that habit.
I ditto Scott's comments... I'm glad your writing is going well.
I'm always editing. I used to think it was a mistake, but now I know it's my style and I don't fight it. Some people need to get it right before moving on.
So, what's the update?
