Secrets to Top Speed Writing

If youre the kind of person who usually spends 45 minutes to Write 3 sentences, youre not alone! I am constantly surrounded by people who keep asking me, How do you Write so fast so much? Erm.taking the mistakes and simple spelling errors into account?

Well, heres the thing. You dont really need REAL talent to Write fast and I am telling you how over here.

STEP ONE

Write a skeleton. Yes, the skeleton is one of the most important parts of your Article or whatever it is that youre Writing. The skeleton will be your guide. Even if you decide not to follow the skeleton later on, it doesnt matter, youll have a structure there that you can change and edit as you see fit as you Write on.

STEP TWO

Write. This is where the speed comes in. This is where most people get stuck. I have friends who produce all of 1 word per minute. The problem is that they ponder over the minute details too long too soon! This is not the time to go over the grammatical erro rs and simple mistakes. The second stage of Writing is pretty much like talking. Yes, Write the way you talk.well deal with the details later on! The reason why some people spend days Writing an Article is because theyre dwelling on the details too soon!

If you want to get ahead, think and Write. Or better still, TALK and Write. This way, youre actually Writing the way you think and Write.

STEP THREE

Checking for grammatical errors. This is the boring-est stage of the Writing process. After putting all your thoughts into words, youre going in for the details now. Not sooner and not later. Check for spelling errors (MS Word usually does a pretty good job at covering that unless youre the kind of person who likes to Write on the fly) and also grammatical errors. ReWrite some sentences and rearrange the structure of the Article too if you have to.

STEP FOUR

Proofreading. If you think step three is bad, this is the pits! I hate proofreading (and if the job is an unpaid one.such as this Article), I might decide to skip this step if my mood is blacker than my wok. But if its a job for a client, Ill go through the mill and do the running, anyway. Although this part is as mundane as it gets, and yet if you want a professional feel to the Article, this step is unavoidable.

There you have it, your ARTICLE!
