Write High-Quality Articles in 20 Minutes or Less — Here’s How
Because perfection is overrated, and deadlines don’t wait for “inspiration.”
Step 1: Pick a Topic (Or Just Yell “Fine, This One!”)
There’s no time for an existential crisis. Pick something you know about. If you’re hesitating, ask yourself, “Could I explain the situation to a drunk friend?” If so, go for it.
Pro Tip: Stuck? Write about writing. Meta? Sure. Easy? Absolutely.
Step 2: Write Like You’re Texting a Friend (But Slightly More Coherent)
Forget “professional tone.” If your first draft sounds like a rant, you’re doing it right. Readers want you, not a Wikipedia bot.
Pro Tip: Throw in a “Look, here’s the thing…” or “Honestly?” — it makes it feel like a real conversation.
Step 3: Hands off the Backspace Key (seriously, stop).
Editing while writing is similar to texting your ex at 2 AM, which is a bad idea. Spill your thoughts first. Fix typos later.
