Quantity and Quality?

I haven't been writing much here the last few days, because I've been writing elsewhere. Since the story I'm working on seems to be flowing more smoothly than the one I've set aside, I've been trying to keep up the momentum by writing whenever I can.

While I'm being productive during the hour and a half I manage to squeeze in at night before I start falling asleep at my computer, I hope that what I'm getting on the page reads well. There is the possibility that I'm writing so fast things get lost in translation when they travel from my brain to my fingertips. And given the time of night, there's a pretty good chance that some things read better when I'm half asleep than they will when I'm wide awake.

I guess it's a matter of quality vs. quantity. But given the struggle I was having on my last project, where I kept going back to read and rewrite every little bit of scene or dialogue, it's a welcome relief to feel like the words are coming to me easily and in pretty decent shape the first time around without needing to make major revisions.

Of course, I may feel differently a few months from now when I finish this project and read the completed manuscript. But at this point, I look forward to having a completed manuscript, no matter what kind of shape it's in.
