I have at times made my living writing and developing presentations for audiences ranging from executives of major tech vendors to CIOs and their teams at fortune 500 companies. My twenty-something daughter has just completed a BA in Scientific and Technical Communication and has simultaneously finished writing a suspense/horror novel. Both of us refer to early drafts of our writing with the same phrase, "word vomit." It is a gross and yet liberating label to what we do. By just getting the ideas out there in a very loose, non-judgmental manner you get past your own inner censor. You can always decide later whether it is worth the effort of the second and third draft to get it publication ready, but at least the ideas are out of your head and you've made a start. I hope this little phrase helps you get past your inner judge.
