It's a lot of words. Lots of them will probably come out as garbage. But I'm actually excited about this idea, so we'll see how it goes. Who knows, the whole idea might come out as garbage too.

They all always come out as garbage. It's only in the edit that words gain anything. Let them be garbage. Let the garbage flow through you.

When I write a story I usually have to write 1-2 pages of NONSENSE, drivel, meandering, just plain and simple nothing more than words before I realize what I want to say. I just have to shit or vomit it all out on paper. It's much later that everything becomes good, and cohesive, and maybe says what I want it to say. Just getting it all down in the first place - that's the work.
