Well, nailed it. I just came across this Guardian article from a couple of years ago. Authors advice on writing. His first two rules are 1 Write; 2 Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
I also like the notion that if someone tells you something's wrong or doesn't work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.
