As fourzoas wrote in one of her late entries last season, I've learned that sometimes, you have to do the introduction last. I don't need to start at the beginning of a piece when brainstorming. In general, I don't find totally automatic writing very helpful, but if I can start in with an idea, and just let the ideas flow forward from there - well it's very easy to cut and paste and edit from that point forward. It's also very helpful for determining whether an idea is worth sticking with or whether it will fizzle out where it starts. Writing short drabbles is often good for getting my writing muscles warm, but in truth, I know that I am much wordier than that. :)
