Writing 50+ Articles Per Day - Tips That Helped Me - Care To Share Yours?

I typed the below in response to a thread about how
to write articles fast, but just before posting it I
decided to make this a thread on its own, so that
others can share their tips and we can all learn from
each other,

So, here goes...

Back in the days when I used to write my own articles
I could write 1 article in only 5 to 10 minutes. It's not so
difficult when you get used to it. There are days when
I could write 50 articles per day! Heck, there was a
time when I did a 500+ articles in couple of days stunt
to raise some money at a pressing time. Indeed, back
in the days,

Below are some things tips that can help you do same:

1. Speed of typing: This is very important. I am able
to type so fast that I always joke to my close friends
that I can type faster than any human can write,
It's a joke, yes, but I haven't seen anyone who can
write faster than I can type. And if you look at it, it's
possible - you type with 10 fingers at the same time,
while someone who writes with a pen does so with
only 2 or 3 fingers,

How did I learn to type so fast? By using the good
old Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. Just using it for
couple of months, even just 1 to 2 hours daily can
help improve your typing speed tremendously!

So, typing speed is very important here. If you are not
fast in typing, then I hear Dragon Naturally Speaking
is good. But if you are like me, I type faster and get
points across even faster than I talk, I think,

2. Research and jot down your main points before beginning:
I don't typically write only one article per topic. Instead,
whenever I want to write I know I have to write 5, 10
or more articles around the same topic, at one sitting.
This allows me to first spend the first couple of minutes,
or even an hour or more, to research the topic and jot
down the main points that will help in writing several
articles at a sitting. Then with the points gotten, I am
able to write 5 or more articles by glancing at the jotted
points every now and then.

3. Make an outline before you begin writing: It helps
to make quick outline of what you intend to cover on
any article before you begin. This shouldn't take you
more than a few minutes, but can save you tons more
minutes in actually writing the article.

4. Don't worry about grammatical/spelling errors at first
Yep, don't bother about these when fleshing out your
articles; just go ahead and get the "meat" out as fast
as you can. When you are done, you can correct the
errors later. Heck, good writers don't even correct their
errors - that's what editors are for,

So - the above are some of my tips.

If you also write articles pretty fast, care to share yours?
