His June newsletter included Five Cool Ideas for Speed Writing by trainer and coach Michael Angelo Caruso, of Edison House.
He offers five tips for writers to work faster without sacrificing quality:
1. Write to micro deadlines.
Try to generate x pages an hour or a chapter a week. Faster isn't always better, but faster is definitely . . . faster.
2. Don't worry about punctuation or spelling.
The idea is to correct the grammar later. Get the pages done, then proofread.
3. Write out of order.
Instead of writing pages in sequence, work on modules in any order. Then piece them together and provide continuity.
4. Write backwards.
It can be easier to begin when you know the end.
5. Work from an outline.
Get the main parts down first. Think of it as creating a skeleton and then "fleshing" out your work.
