Okay, so I'm completely obsessed with the Divergent trilogy right now, so I went to Barnes and Noble and bought the copy of Divergent with all the special stuff tacked on to the end. Since I've been gone for so long, I decided to risk getting sued and post (in my own words) Veronica Roth's tips for writing!
Disclaimer: This is all copyrighted by Veronica Roth, she thought of it, and I have nothing to do with it. I'm only doing this to try to help fellow writers, please don't sue me!
Stage One: Word Vomit. Just write, but don't reread what you've written. If you do so, you'll be tempted to edit, and that'll sidetrack your progress.
Stage Two: Leave it! Reconnect with family and friends you might have ignored during Stage One. Don't think about your manuscript at all.
Stage Three: Edit. Fix any mistakes you've made with continuity. Note down all ginormous plot changes you plan to make.
Stage Four: Chop up your manuscript. No, seriously, save your old copy and make a copy of it, then start chopping up your favorite parts. Get rid of everything you love! :P This will give you a fresh start, but you'll still have your old manuscript to refer to in case you want to bring something back.
Stage Five: Repeat.
Please don't sue.
