Question for writers: How to silence the annoying internal editor?

Sunday, August 15th, 2010
rayrayras asked:


I’ve been writing short stories non-professionally for about four years now. Recently, however, I’ve found it very difficult to turn off my internal editor. As you can imagine, this is having an ill effect on my creativity, so much to the point where it’s hard for me to finish even the shortest story.

My question to you: is there any method or technique you use or know of that silences the internal editor long enough to get the first draft of your story done?

Please and thank you for the help.

I like to write short stories and novels, and the only problem I ever have is how to start it off. How are you supposed to start off a novel properly, so it grabs the reader in and it isn’t boring?

Thanks!
To cathrl69: This isn’t like asking about how sprinters run fast. I’m asking how you’re supposed to start off a novel, without it seeming stupid or boring, okay? I’m wondering how to begin a story so it’s interesting. So f*ck off.
