Shut Up, Inner Editor

One problem that I always have during NaNo is that my Inner Editor (the Grammar Snob and Structural/Linguistic Perfectionist of Doom) will not shut up. This Inner Editor always yells at me to go back and fix things that I shouldn't be worried about fixing yet, to completely restructure this one part, to go back and fix every single typo before I write another word. But that was a NaNo thing, never interfering with Screnzy.

Until now.

Yes, right now, almost at the end of Day 2, I'm seeing a total restructuring of my story setup. This is probably because I know more about the backstory and the flashbacks and everything than about my actual plot, which is basically nonexistent. So I really want to start over again and put everything in the right order and present it completely differently.

Which I suppose I could do, but...NaNo and Screnzy are supposed to be the Months of Turning Off Your Inner Editor. (Except for thesis. I kinda need my Inner Editor while I'm working on thesis. Thesis is kind of a big deal.)

Bahh. It's only day two. I can restructure and still finish in time...as long as this is the only restructure...

Right?

I'm gonna go for it. Inner Editor, you win this one. I'm gonna maintain that it's only because I need you to stick around for working on senior thesis. Come November, when thesis is basically done and over with and it's NaNo time again...I shall have my revenge.

Probably no more scripting is going to happen tonight. Much. Except maybe a bit of restructuring. I need a title. I need a soundtrack. I need to totally and completely know and understand my characters and my plot.

I'm a bit obsessed. I think researching screenwriting for senior thesis does that to you.

Shut up, brain, shut up.

Alright, dear internetfolks, I'm signing off now. Otherwise I'll never be able to shut up. Especially if I start talking about LOST now that I've seen up to Season 5 Episode 9 --

Shut up, brain, shut up.

Hasta luego, internetfolks! Love,
Bex
