Don't Get Sidetracked


You're writing and things are moving along, your muse is alive and operating on all cylinders. And then it happens--you get to a point where you're not sure about something . . . an address, a date, something that needs to be researched a little. Do you stop and look it up?
Here's a practice that has worked for me: simply type, in all caps, the words MORE INFO after whatever it is that needs verifying, and then move on. You can return later and do whatever needs to be done, but don't stop the flow of ideas, particularly when they're running downstream like a twig in a strong current.
