Sessions must be paying off.
No one told me shit posting was frowned upon. Anyway the verbal diarrhea is normal on the first draft. It's actually better that you just spit it out instead sitting there wondering what you want to put down. You can (and should) go back over it a bunch of times, then you can clean it up, and make it have structure and flow. Some writers organize first, some later, but as long as it develops fluidity before you put it up on Amazon than you'll be good.
