How to Write 1,000 Words Quickly

There has been a lot of interest in a short post a wrote last week called "How to Write 1,000 Words". This was a time-lapsed video of a writer creating a 1,000-word blog post.

So I thought I'd expand on this because I often receive comments about how much I write, I how much I do in a day and how I do it all.

But it's really not that hard. I mean, yes I'm busy, but I'm enjoying it so it doesn't always feel like work.

And I think it all comes down to mindset, or to put it another way, knowing how much you're capable of doing in a day so that you don't overwhelm yourself or your daily 'to do' list.

Now I'm a pretty consistent writer. I write every day, and usually only week days unless I have a pressing deadline.

But I don't write all day. I work for a few hours a day and then stop.

I'm not one of those hype-merchants who brags on and on about how much money I earn for doing very little. Instead I'm a bit of a plodder. I work, I write, I earn money, I repeat it all.

I have a great work-life balance and I love it. And yes, I could work more and earn more, but I enjoy my life just how it is.

So now to get down to writing quickly, which is really what you're probably doing already but you just don't know it.

How to Write 1,000 Words

This is something you don't get to see often. A writer actually doing a piece of writing.

And in this revealing and insightful video, you can watch as, in only 5 minutes of time lapsed video, author Scott Berkun writes a 1,000-word essay called How to Write a 1,000 Words.

It's rather fascinating to see how he writes, how he changes things as he works, how he organises his notes and a whole lot more.

3 Fast Ways to Make Money Writing

In an ideal world it would be great to sit and write one best seller after another, and get a movie contract offer for each book.

In the real world, that’s unlikely to happen. And even if it did, the money wouldn’t be instant because books take time to write, especially epic novels. And movie rights take ages to set up.

So, in the meantime, while you’re waiting for your big break, how can you generate some fast money from your writing?
