You can and must let it flow. I agree with Roger; the best writing happens when you are free to say whatever. And then there's the fun of redrafting. I'd say I went through a good seven drafts with the novel I have coming out in the fall. But that first one has to be pure creativity.

Go with it!

Good luck,

Lori
