Write Spontaneously....Edit Later

Learn How to Turn Off Your Internal Editor


Every writer has their own method and technique. And what works for one writer, may not work for another.

Like most freelancers, you're probably juggling multiple clients and assignments. Every minute and hour counts, and we can't afford to spend too much time on one assignment. From what I've read on blogs and freelance websites, it looks as if most writers try to average at least $20 an hour. How they earn this hourly wage varies. Where some writers have to create two or three short articles an hour, another writer can earn a quick $20 with a single piece of content.

Whether you're creating short product reviews, hotel descriptions, or search engine optimized articles, you can reach your hourly goal - whatever it may be. The key is to write fast...but accurate. Writers have a tendency to edit as they write. While this method works, it can slow the creative process, and your words don't flow as freely.

With every assignment I like to write first and edit later. I don't worry about sentence structure, correct punctuation, grammar, or typos. Instead, I focus on my ideas and spontaneous thoughts. Once I turn off my internal editor and yield to uninterrupted creativity, my hands take over and the words spill out.
