part of that spine, I type a shortlist of things I feel should be included so that when I am ready to write, I have those hints ready to guide me into producing good quality, informative articles.

Research.

If any items you write need research, do this as a separate exercise to actually writing. Too many people research as they go and what this does is slows down the whole process. Research is preparation, just like getting that cup of coffee together for a writing session. Treat this as a separate part of the writing process and never try to mix research with writing, as your work will look stilted and not flow as smoothly as if you had already decided the order in which to write.

Get ready to write.

When you know that you have a lot of time in which to indulge in writing, prepare everything so you can get into the serious business at hand. Those who write books have to discipline themselves to produce a certain amount of work in a short space of time sometimes to meet editors demands. This really is good practice because it enables a writer to stretch their imagination and develop a style which works faster for them. Don't ponder too much. By the time you are ready to write, all the pondering should have already been done.

Brush up your typing skills.

If you need help, there are many sites online where you can get your typing speeds up by practice. These sites are well worth a visit, because the speed at which you type will also have a bearing on how much written work you can produce within a given time limit.

Maximize writing time by thinking out what you are going to do while doing other things. The idea may hit you as to how to tackle a written piece of work while you are gardening or doing mundane things. Store those thoughts ready to get writing. The secret to writing faster is organization of thoughts and processes, subject matter and research material, leaving you free to make the most of writing time to devote just to producing articles. Then it becomes easy and learning the routine sets you apart from the competition once you apply it to what you choose to write.
