Easy Content Writing Quick Tip #4 Don’t Edit As You Go
A common mistake people make is trying to edit while they write rather than edit when they finish their article. Editing while you write is counterproductive and actually slows your writing down. Making corrections during your writing process interferes with the natural flow of ideas from your mind. You cannot effectively concentrate on your ideas and thoughts because you are too busy trying to have correct grammar and spelling.
Even as I am writing this I am not making any corrections with this first draft. All the corrections will take place after all of my ideas are down on paper. Well, in this case I use notepad from my computer.
You will get more accomplished by allowing your mind to run without extra clutter. Check comma placement and misspellings later! Once you have finished then go back and make any corrections. You will be able to zip right through error corrections without wondering what you are missing in your content.: Turn the automatic spelling and grammar correction function off in your word process. Those little squiggly lines under misspelled words hinder creativity. Sure, they are cute and a little helpful but not while your creative juices are flowing.
If you want to write faster be sure to plan your topics ahead of time, take plenty of breaks to rest your mind and avoid editing while you type. Remember to use bullet points when necessary, write a concise, focused article and you will be writing like a pro in not time.
Dread writing no more – or at least less than before!
