I am not a writer. I am a reader and an appreciator of good writing. I sure did enjoy this post and think it’s good advice for writer wannabees like some of my students.

And YES! You made the point better than I did. It is ‘Kirk Speed’ in its highest and most refined form (my opinion).

The reason I brought up Koontz was a) to show there are different processes b) he writes almost every day and c) he used to write more like what I am talking about, but over time and so many books, became so good he no longer needed to do outlines and such. It is rather the point of fast-drafting. To train storytelling.

That seems like the opposite of “Kirk speed” — but it might be the ultimate form of it, being able to make changes and race on without losing momentum.

But your post made me exhausted just reading it. 🙂 I need to get my butt in gear and move over into the fast lane! Thanks for the nudge!!

I want to give it a try. Ignore the commas, full speed ahead!
