In a story, for example, you'll start off with a character who is a little bit of a cartoon. That's not satisfying and you start revising.

And you have to keep the censor off, or you start second-guessing every other sentence. Sometimes the suspicion of a possible false start comes through, and you have to suppress it to keep writing. But it gets more persistent. And the moment you know it’s really a false start is when you start … it’s hard to put into words.
