NaNo Day Ten

Day Ten - Over 2100 words today. An amazingly excellent start to Week Two. 
I am having one big problem though, I've been attacked by my internal editor.  She is a cranky old witch! She doesn't like poor word choice or flat prose or overused words or pretty much anything else I'm writing at the moment.   She keeps telling me that I have to edit. That I will go insane if I don't edit.  If you are having the same troubles, let me give you an important piece of advice.  
 DON’T DO IT..  Don’t listen to that infernal internal editor.  If the words are wrong, if they make you sick at your stomach, don’t delete, never never delete.  Just change the font to red instead.   I guarantee it will trick you into ignoring all those words that need changing or erasing because you know they’ll stand out and  be easy to find and delete when the month is over.
