It's interesting to learn that that prolonged immersion in writing anything that came to mind worked so well. I think it's quite a gamble myself!

Yes, I guess it's a matter of your personality and how you work best. This method definitely would not work for everyone.

I was surprised to find out, for example, that the author Jinwoo Chong has to basically do his writing beginning to end, otherwise he feels he has to do the whole thing over again -- he's "genuinely afraid of revising" his writing. To him, it's much less stressful to just write the whole thing over again with total control. Minute 4:00 - 8:50, https://youtu.be/VvbCIsNKyls

Thanks, Laura, that's really interesting. Mind-boggling in fact! I don't think I could face starting from scratch every time
