Sometimes writing is running downhill, your fingers jerking behind you on the keyboard the way your legs do when they can’t quite keep up with gravity.

About This Quote

We all know writers who seem to move at the speed of light. They can type or write an essay in a flash and then they’re off again into another writing session. Writers like this tend to be prolific and can churn out a lot of work. However, if you want to write the best you can, you need to take your time and not rush through your writing thinking you have to get it done right away.

The danger in this method is that you may discover you have written something trite or have written it in a way that no one would want to read. Writing is a lot like running downhill—sometimes it can be hard work, but you get there eventually if you stay with it.
