I had been in a lull. My novel was at a standstill and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Still can't. But now a new project has taken hold and I am basking in the joy of creativity. Ideas and characters are having a party in my head, saying "How about. . .? and Oh! Oh! What if. . .? And I, the author, am saying "Yeah, that sounds good." or at least, "I'll try that. It's so crazy it might just be original."
My internal editor has become irritable and now resorts to immature, attention seeking behaviors. She shoots spitballs. Her hair is down, the glasses are off, and her feet are up on the desk. She's eating licorice and complaining loudly about her salary and not being appreciated.
I've warned her about the poor economy and potential lay-offs in sight. I've told her if she has such great ideas she should go and write her own book. :o)

Go for it! Let the internal editor play video games until you need her.
