Don't worry too much about your inner critic, Gigi. Writing is more an evolutionary process than a creationistic one. I, for one, know very well what it's like to have my inner critic demand rewrites after only a few sentences. I can humor him, though, because (a) I compose on a laptop, rather than on paper; and (b) Mr. Critic usually has an alternative to propose.

So, you can come back to life by an act of will? How can your inner critic be a match for that? It seems you're even more remarkable than I thought.
