Creative Writing: ala Video Games
This is a cross post from Bitmob.com (a great video game site, that blends traditional writers with community writers) where I entered a contest.

Therefore I usualy over look the need to make sure what I have said is clear and well thought through. Most of the time it is just a battle to get the words out of my head and onto paper or keys before I forget what I was going to say. To stop and review what I have said would almost make me lose track of where I was going next with my thoughts. …hold the phone, there's more
