Don't let the Inner Critic stop you. One way to do this is anytime you feel unsure or critical of what you've just written, toss in a square bracket or other unique symbol and keep writing. Don't let thoughts like "I don't like that word, I need a synonym" or "this sentence is poorly worded" or "I need to write more here(but don't feel like it right now)" stop you…insert a bracket and keep going. Then when you are in an editing mood, you can search for the square brackets and make changes.

So, you're a GF baker too? Sounds like we might be on the same page, so to speak, or at least the same chapter writing-wise as well. I refer to mine as "trans-genred" although I think it falls into the wide arms of "modern gothic." Who and what do you think were the influences that formed your writing?
