I write on like a million post its. Finish one and put it the pile without looking. I find its easier to get through your work piece by piece than having a huge page in front of you that you obsess over.

I cant help it. I'll write a few sentences, then change them all around. Are you just supposed to flow for a bit and write a lot, then edit later?

This is why started writing all of my first drafts by hand. In theory it should be much slower, but I find that I actually get more done because I actually spend my time writing instead of obsessively editing the last sentence I wrote.
