Only for the 5 minute freewrite do I write nonstop. Otherwise, I pause, think a minute, type, pause, go google if "chit" is still a word Brits use, type some more, pause, look up Harry Potter quotes about Madame Maxime.... yeah. I take forever! Thanks for reading, and rest assured, you don't have to be a "linear" writer. Plotting is fairly useless for me because once I start writing, I always get derailed and a scene that played out in my mind while doing dishes may never see the light of day in the story I try to write with that scene.
