Focus on putting your first draft to paper without considering whether it will look good to a potential reader. Consider it a skeleton that will need flesh and blood later.

Never, never submit the first draft, or even the second, to anyone! Clothe that body first - no one needs to know that your writing body was once naked.

For good "spontaneous" writing, edit over and over again until your wording becomes crisp and you generate the emotion you desire to portray.

Check your paragraphs to see whether you have duplicated words. These generally jar a reader.

Find new, more intense, satisfying words for those that have become stale in your vocabulary.
