Organic Writing

Sometimes as writers we get bogged down in trying to pace a sentence correctly or finding the perfect punctuation, but sometimes we have to let it go.  Often when I’m stuck I just have to write.  Who cares if there are fragments or if the phrasing is awkward.  It’s  first draft, it’s about capturing the basics of that scene, well for me at least.   We were discussing in my critique group that this concept of just writing is classified as organic writing.  I guess you say it’s writing in it’s raw form.  Yes, you have to go back and clean it up and pay attention to those fragments and punctuation but often, that first spark and those first words are where the magic happens.  So don’t be afraid to let go and just write.
