I think about this quote a lot when I’m writing. I write fast. It’s because I plot everything out before I put a pen to the page. I can pump out a first draft in less than 6 weeks. Which is why I can publish 4-6 books every year.
But I always wonder, should I take more time and really get into the meat of what I’m writing? Is the quality of my writing good enough or can it be better if I just take my time and go over and over it?
I am a big believer in gut instincts. When I think something is good, I tend to just go with it and not make changes.
And I wonder…does this help or hurt my writing?
Like I said…something I’ve been thinking about.

Perhaps it does both, helps and hurts. I mean, the more you write the better you become, so that’s a good thing. Not making changes, well, that could go either way. Personally I think the less change actually helps our writing. We can go back and see how far we’ve come and the growth we’ve made as writers.
Your style obviously works. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. You put out 4-6 books a year!! Keep going. Keep growing.
