I don't have an inner editor. What I have is an inner super-anti ego. It hates me and loves me at the same time, much like an abusive relatioship, and that's kinda sad. 'course, I'm nuts, so go figure.
Keyboard and computer. I can't even read my own handwriting anymore. I don't think that, aside from notes to the kids (which I can now put on the TV thanks to the XBOX, LOL) or to the school, that I have handwritten anything in the last half decade. I will however, scribble out one liners, crazy paragraphs, and midnight inspirations as well as some really crappy art in my notebook, but since I can't read anything I write at 3 am anyways.....
I don't start with an outline, I just write. Most of what I write that is shown on here is an unedited first draft. I lack serious discipline to edit, so I use the smarts of the chronos members to be my critics for me. I know, thats kinda lazy and cheap, but dang you guys are so good!
