Is it better to put words out onto the page without a thought to what you are saying other than you are telling a story about X, or is it better to think about the words you use? I'd be curious to see what other writers think of the subject. My gut tells me that about half would say that you should just write whatever shit comes into your head and then fix on rewrite, and the others would say you still have to put some thought into the words or you'll end up trying to wrap a bow on the terd you spent half of the year squeezing out.
Today, I'd say I'm in the former group, squeezing out nuggets to polish in the future.
