Five Tips for faster writing: Write Clear Concise Articles in Half the Time
Do you ever wonder how some people can crank out 20 to 30 articles on a daily basis? Do you struggle to write two or three articles in a day? Well if this is the case, there are a few simple techniques you could try to up the speed of your writing. Write clear concise articles in half the time.
One of the things that many people fail to do when it comes to writing is plan. Planning is very important when it comes to writing articles, essays or any written composition. You should consider planning your articles ahead of time. Plan your titles in an excel spreadsheet and tick them off as you complete them. Plan the structure of your pieces ahead of time. When you start writing, you will not have to sit and think what is coming next. Everything is already planned.
Do your research in advance, so the next day you can just sit and write the piece. So, pick your titles do your planning and do your research all at the same time. You can choose to do it a week in advance. You could choose to do it a day in advance. Just do it in advance.
One thing I have noticed a lot is the fact that many writers seem to edit as they write. This is the slowest way of writing. It might work for some people; however, I believe that the fastest and most efficient way of writing is to just write without editing. The reason for this is, you get the basic structure and idea of the piece. You can then go back and do all of the editing afterwards. Trust me it works, I can write a 300 word piece in under eight minutes. I then go back and do all the editing once the piece is finished.
Clean your Workspace
Clear the clutter, clear your workspace; however, you would like to put it. Just get rid of all the things that will distract you. For example, a messy room can distract you from the job at hand. Before you know it, you are doing other things like cleaning rather than actually writing.
Set a Timer
This is one of the best tricks; I have found it really works well for me. I set a timer; I work out how long it takes me to write say, a 300-word article. I then set my timer, so I have to write that article in that space of time. It allows you to work to a timed schedule and helps you to stick with it. It also gets the creative juices flowing faster. Set your timer and get cracking with the work that needs doing. Hold yourself accountable.
One last thing, if you have a goal to write more articles and earn more money. You simply have to believe in yourself, think positive and believe that you can achieve anything. Believe in the power of positive thought, and you will achieve everything that you set your mind to. Keep striving and keep the faith.
