Or like, just, do the completely sane and rational thing, and detatch yourself from what you've written.

If you're aiming for a college-level piece of work, or if you're just hoping to nail a novel page down with a throwing knife, here's what you do.

[b]Step 1:[/b] Write what you are going to write down. Just spitball it. Get it down, physically, because if you don't, you'll probably forget it. Our brains suck like that.

[b]Step 2:[/b] Walk away for a couple days.

[b]Step 3:[/b] Return. Read it. Realize how fucking stupid you sound. Edit, edit, edit, edit, edit, edit, edit, edit. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until work is satisfactory.

This is how one does high level college research papers. I would assume it's probably the most efficient method for attempting to reach perfection, as rewrites might cause you to miss something you wrote earlier, causing you to have to rewrite [i]again[/i], all the while your tone will go schizophrenic because the tone of an author naturally and gradually changes over time...
