The nice thing about writing from your own ideas — I guess from any ideas, but from your own nuggets — is that in trying to edit them and fix them so they work, new thoughts occur. They grow like the neural networks in the brain do. They find connections that you didn't think of originally, and suddenly a sentence or two becomes a paragraph.
The paragraph might sit, and as you go and make your way afield, somewhere in your files you find another paragraph. You think, "Wait a minute, what was that other thing?" You go back to that. And that's what's great about this process. That's what's great about the brain.
