WriteOrDie.com style of writing is great, I agree. And I agree that you shouldn't be editing the initial draft, just get it out and keep writing; review and rearrange things later. Editing and fixing typos while writing is like feeding your horse while she's galloping.
My personal problem though is the language. English is hard. Yes, English is beautiful and versatile and egalitarian and it has flavors, etc. But I am not a native English speaker and I still haven't learned how to form
copiously coherent sentences in my mind, let alone complete paragraphs. I can write beautiful sentences in my native tongue, but not in English. And I just can't write my thoughts in my native tongue first and then translate them later - something gets lost whenever I try; and I tried many times - it's just not the same.
It's difficult to become an adequate writer for someone born into the language, almost impossible for someone who had to learn it in adulthood.
