I find I have many creative ideas as a writer, but I fight with myself about expressing these ideas on paper. I'd like to be able to do as this person did and be able to write without caring about editing as I go, more stream of consciousness style so that I can just write what I want and sift through it later.
I know that one can reduce their own inhibitions through alcohol and drug use, but is this particular condition one that is hereditary or caused due to brain damage, or, is it one which can be induced?
