Things that don't work well together

Prewriting and I get along almost as well as cat's and dog's. Outlines, Venn diagrams, rough drafts....they don't work for me.Whenever I write the words simply flow onto the page and the essay/story etc forms itself into a workable piece of writing. My typical writing session consists of this, I sit down at my laptop and I write what needs to be said. That's it, I don't have complicated rituals like jumping backwards 3 times and doing the Hokey Pokey every time I get writers block. That example isn't legitimate by the way, I just grabbed it out of my "stupid rituals" file cabinet. For me writer's block can usually be solved by rewriting the last paragraph or in extreme cases the entire essay. As soon as the words click the light bulb turns back o and I can finish the paper.
