The Annapolis Chapter of the Maryland Writers' Association (MWA) invites you to the presentation Fast Drafting For The Not So Speedy Writer. Fast-drafting is a skill many writers will have to use at some point in their careers. It could for a deadline, or NaNoWriMo, or even utilized as a final push to get a stubborn idea fully on the page. In any case, fast drafting is a skill worth developing. We’ll explore practical tips and exercises that a writer can do to train themselves to become a fast-drafter. We’ll share and discuss roadblocks to fast-drafting and brainstorm solutions, including how to turn off that annoying internal editor.
