Eight Practical Strategies To Write Faster
- Flip your internal script and stop telling yourself you are a slow writer to change your writing identity.
- Marie lists eight tactics (e.g., time limits, editorial calendar, don’t edit while drafting, be the vessel) to speed up consistent content creation.
Use An Editorial Calendar For Decision-Free Writing
- Plan your content with an editorial calendar for 3–6 months so you stop wasting time deciding topics.
- Marie says spending 1–2 hours upfront removes decision friction and tells you when to publish each idea.
Separate Drafting From Editing
- Don't write and edit at the same time; get everything out first to keep momentum.
- Marie recommends writing an alternate sentence rather than deleting while drafting, then edit faster from a full page.
