How Do You Write?

On this last night of Nano, when I am only 23.5K words in the hole and could not possibly type fast enough to get them all in, even if I had them written yet, I have been thinking about how I write. And wondering how so many of my talented friends do it. So, I put it to you-- how do you go about writing fiction?

( Here's how I do it.... )

So, that's my writing process. What's yours?

And thanks to everyone who offered encouragement, feedback, and smacks in the head to me this month. Words can't express how much I appreciate it.
