Those are usually the days when I am writing fast and furious. If I could find a program that would actually edit grammar then I would be good to go!

With a background in fiction and academic writing I had allowed myself to become a slow writer. The funny thing is, once I started just writing first and editing later, I ended up with pieces that seemed to flow more organically. I'm sure this is because I edited the whole piece at the same time instead of tweaking and tweaking and tweaking as I wrote. This is one of the first problems I had as a freelance writer.

I usually jot them down when I'm waiting in line or sitting at the ball field. Having an outline of my thoughts gives me a direction for my article. I use to just write down title ideas but when I would stumble over them a month later I would have NO CLUE what I was going to write about. Research is also a nice tool to have sitting around. I recently had to do a large number of wedding and event planning articles. I had an entire folder of information about wedding planning that I held on to AFTER my own wedding. It has helped plan other weddings and definitely made writing the articles a breeze. Hey Annette – I have found that outlines can be a big benefit for any size project.

The rough draft also takes the pressure off and I find I can write a 30-50 page book in a matter of days.
