Just Write It!

When your writing a story you worry more about getting that A then telling the story. You spend your entire time writing going back and checking spelling and making sure you have the right punctuation and everything is grammatically correct. These are all important things, but it's not what writing is about. I find it best to just go through and get everything written then go back a day or two later and see if it's what your trying to say and that it is presented how you wish for it to be presented. I also find that the most important part of proof reading is having someone else look at it. You know what you meant to say and so that's how you read it, they don't and can often give you crazy good insight!
