Androxine Vortex

For some reason I can't seem to just type away at a computer. Even if I know exactly how my story is going to go, I find it difficult. I have a bad habit of falling in love with every letter I enter on the keyboard and then when I go back and edit a little part of me doesn't want to remove it. Sounds silly, but true. So what I do is I write what I plan on typing on a notepad (I think this makes me more careful about my choice of words because using an eraser is more tedious than just pressing the backspace key) Then I go back and do some minor editing and when I feel it is polished enough, I take it to my computer. Even at this point I am still changing things around but I feel it is stronger than when I just jump straight at the computer. I know this process is a lot more time consuming (a resource I wish I had more of) so I am actually trying to just be more careful what I type on the computer instead of having to go back to pen and paper. I'm just weird, but I'm sure you all knew that by now.
