I like seeing how some of you write. I feel it is part inspiration and part perspiration. Mostly perspiration, I think, but without the ideas the perspiration turns out VERY BADLY.
Number three? Definitely need to rewrite. Who the heck can get all phrasing and ideas right the very first time? Or not have a character contradict themselves, or even lose track of who is speaking in a conversation?
This is all coming from an amateur writer. So take it for what it's worth.

First This is not my long (by now) awaited summation and critique on
"Inspiration." I was just checking to see what was percolating among the participants of the thread.
Second mrscoach I must confess to have stolen your avatar. My wife now has it (enlarged somewhat) as the background for her computer screen. She loves penguins. Quite a lot of them on this site.
Third A writer should never be overly concerned about criticism to himself or his methods. Criticism should always be considered in the light of being helpful to a writer. Through our work we put ourselves out there to be judged. Whether the judgement is correct or incorrect is something else.
