HIM

My "Watcher" needs to be shut down before I can get any work done. He sits in my my head watching every letter be typed or written. If I don't show him his place he looks over ever single sentence over and over until before I know it I'm going back to the top of the essay trying to revise something that I realized wasn't perfect when I reached the top of the second page.
I imagine my "Watcher" as a little hunchback creature rummaging through the information in my brain trying to find the right words and the correct structure of sentences. I type something and he says, "No, no do not use that" or, "You are using the vocabulary of a fourth grader", and even, "Really? Is that how you want the sentence to read?"
In a way I have to control his volume. I want him in the room when I write, but I want him very far away. That way when the big mistakes come around I can hear him scream it from across the room.
