Fast Writing
Write fast. The middle is where you want to get to — that’s probably where you will start anyway. Starting slowly is death. It’s torture. Always start writing fast. Plan on throwing the first three pages away, always. Write more middles and fewer beginnings. Get out of the speed of thought. Speed date your writing life.

Hi Heather,
I absolutely love the website and I am so glad that I found it. School is not nearly as fun without taking a class with you. However, you have truly installed a love of writing in me. In my children’s literature class I decided to try and write the start of a book instead of doing a final paper. My hope is that whatever I create will be worthy to show you. Well, take care.

Hi, Heather.
I am still working on making my novel marketable, and allowing time for myself, to be myself, to be okay with being a writer. I am so grateful to have met you at Midwest Writers Workshop, and glad that you are blogging.
Bless you!
I write fast as hell.
Love you!
