"Write quickly and you will never write well; write well and you will soon write quickly." - Quintilian

Wise words for any endeavor. Mastery first. Speed later.

More true than not. Less true for people with a tendency to overthink. I advise people like that to write in a stream of consciousness and tidy up afterwards. When I was a technical editor it was the only way I could get some people to finish their articles. It was my job to mop up after them. Occasionally it was a near-total rewrite. A thankless job, but someone had to do it.

I write very quickly but I've been a writer for decades so probably benefit, I'd hope, from a degree of mastery. But now I'm having to slow back down again because I am increasingly given to not-quite right words and weird mis-spellings. This is made worse by decades now of reliance on spell checkers (and when writing software, realtime error correction and various reminders).

Welcome to the site, Nunya. I watched your Sheldrake video with interest. I tend to not be a fan of his but that video may have softened my resistance a bit. Thanks for posting it.
