Writing Inspiration and musings on the craft

I am a fan of writing for the sake of writing. I often sit down at my computer and just write whatever comes out without any structure or formal idea of what I’m sitting down to write. Once the words have hit the page (or screen) I read through and edit the thoughts into the form I feel best suits the inspiration that has shown up. I enjoy writing early in the morning or later in the evening when the house is quiet and I have the illusion of being alone. If I find difficulty in hearing the words I put on headphones and push play on my Spotify app until I find something that triggers the urge to write or a feeling, thought or picture in my head. I find instrumental music usually brings out the most introspective pieces and keeps my inner critic at bay.

Do any of you write intuitively and revise/edit after getting the words out or do you find it easier to write with a firm project or plan in mind? Do you have a playlist I should try or one that helps you find the words? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
