Why Write Fast at all?

what is the point?

I thought I would take today to explain why my Substack is subtitled Writers Moving Quickly.

I believe writing should be done quickly. A practicing writer is a progressing writer. And if you write quickly, you simply become a better writer faster. Who doesn’t want that?

Thomas Umstattd Jr. at Author Media says that “Excellence = quality + speed.” Since I’m not qualified to write about writing with quality, I write about writing with speed ;D.

—I also happen to personally believe that my best writing is done when I’m blazing through sentences.

Whenever I speak in specifics, you’ll notice that I tend to refer to speculative fiction (and mostly fantasy at that), and that is because it’s what I write most and see myself publishing in the future.
