Efficient writing in English - a struggle of a non-native English speaker.

Within this month's training on the Super Affiliate challenge, Kyle addressed a topic that has been bothering me for the past months.
As my native language is Portuguese and my website is in English, I had to add a couple of steps among the ones that Americans, British, Australians etc usually follow through.
The entire process takes a long time (much longer than a native speaker, I'm sure). On the bright side, I get to enjoy quite a few cups of coffee, my favorite drink. :-)

After I write my content, I run a spelling checker within SiteContent, then copy/paste it into Translate where it also gets checked by Grammarly.
Sometimes I have to use alternate tools like Linguee (thanks, Mia @MEsmeriz, for the tip).
After correcting the errors and modifying words and expressions that don't seem to make much sense, I copy/paste it back to SiteContent.
Kyle's suggested writing process will help me immensely as it will save me some time that I'll make sure to invest checking and improving the quality of my content.
Certainly, as I practice, this process will eventually become easier and easier.
I always keep in mind that "it's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be."
Now back to work! :-)
