Achieve Authentic Writing By Not Falling Into, The Write Fast Trap

The “write as many articles as possible in a short time” can kill you. I did it at first – and without a problem, and actually enjoyed it – but, no matter how many articles you write and how many ideas sprout out of you, it seems you get some kind of bitterness. This might just be a phase, I do not know – but there is certainly, at least to me, appealing to thinking a little before every line I write. It feels I speak my mind more, then. I do not think I can explain this.
But try it. I am sure – at least if you have been in the “write as many articles as possible..” trap – that you, too, have written without really thinking. I think writing about something that you are very familiar with, and doing it a lot in a short time period – to the point that ideas come out of you without you even thinking; or so it seems – is not entirely healthy to your creative mind. It might seem that way, if you have the perspective where you count number of ideas – and that the amount of ideas equals how creative you are being. But are you really seeing things from different perspectives, with that perspective..?
Even though it is something awesome with being able to just pop out ideas – and, as I said, have them pop out almost automatically – there is also something fabricated about it. Or could be. It happens a little too quickly. Your writing becomes a little robotic — being robotic is not exactly a sign of having the ability to see things from different perspectives. We grow when we are challenged. If writing is not a challenge, at all, I think something is wrong. Bruce Lee says “be like water” — or something very similar — by which he means be adaptable. But there is no point in being like water, if there are no obstacles. If you do not challenge yourself, you cannot learn. Things will be the same, so you will not be stimulated. You stop feeling – and when you do not feel, yourself, you cannot influence your readers to feel. Whatever you write – no one will care about it, as there is no passion behind your writing. You might be passionate about the subject – underneath all the “have to write fast, have to write fast”-thinking – but your passionate is not transcribed into your writing if you are not passionate when you write that stuff. So you need to tap into the passion. That will require taking time off from hyper-fast-writing for a while, and just let things come.
