Slow Down to Move Fast? Take a Break. Read Gladwell's.

I'm no writer. Good at maths and science at college while just average in languages, well, it was 30 some years ago. Writing used to be a tough task for me.

One Blog One Post So Far!

Joined 1.5 months, got merely one blog in WA, one post published to my site and 2 posts WIP for past 2 weeks. Not a good progress really. Gotta learn to move fast and catch up!

Press the "Pause" this evening to read Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" again, my favorite author and my third time on this book. Just finished reading the intro talking about "Roseto", a community and effect of surrounding people on who we are and how we become.

Much like he's talking about Wealthy Affiliate. It fires me up! Can't wait to jump to my computer and write my second blog here.

Time To Take Another Break

Kyle told us not to spend too much time polishing our articles. The readers will judge the good and bad. Perhaps this is what I needed to improve to move fast and complete my 2 WIP posts soon.

Get serious this time and use an online stopwatch. Just chosen the cover pic and spell checked. WOW! Below 40 minutes to get this published, not bad for mediocre writer like me. Don't laugh my dear veterans, please. LOL!

Time to read chapter 1 of the book again, it's fascinating and entertaining. And Gladwell uses a thousand words to paint a picture in your mind.

Nice weekend everybody!
