Avoid Correcting Typos While Writing

Corrections of typos or mistakes during writing can slow down the process and distract you from your main objective.

Instead of focusing on typos or grammatical errors in the middle of writing, leave them as they are. Although it may seem impossible at first to not correct typos in blog posts, it is possible.

If you stop and correct the errors, your flow of ideas will stagnate. It's the real-time sucker. It can be difficult to revert to the old flow.

Your mistakes shouldn't be a hindrance to your creativity. Allow ideas to flow naturally by creating a space for them.

Proofreading and writing are two distinct processes. Don't mix them together like a dirty cocktail!

First, write down what comes to your mind. Your fingers should not be lifted from the keyboard.

It is important not to set your mind, remain flexible, and find your own pattern:

You can mix the order around to whatever gets your writing flowing.

  • The introduction should be written first.
  • The conclusion should be written last.
  • Write whatever is easy when you begin writing.

Do you enjoy writing the conclusion first? Here's your chance to make it happen!

Writing blog posts in a certain way limits creativity and prevents you from having sporadic ideas. Whatever strikes you, write it.

Using a template your structure should be loosely in place. The structure is not a writing process, but a task to be done in proofreading after the article is written.

Excellent training, Lily.
I actually do everything you suggest except use Dynalist. I love free software like this though and will be exploring its capability within my process.

I use "notion.os" for everything right now (also free) ... research materials and writing and much more. One of the value adds of the notion software is that I can format everything within it and then copy to wp where I add images. Also, I can use it on Windows, macOS, ios or Android, online or offline.

I hope you don't mind the question... does Dynalist work in various environments and how easily does it copy to WP?
Thanks again.
:-)

Great Post Lily. I read another post the other day and the suggestion was to write your introduction last. I was always told what you have outlined.

Very informative and the Explore Dynalist sounds very helpful.

Personally, I like to write mine in sequence Yvonne or I forget what I want to say but everyone is different. There is no right way just whatever works for you and gets the flow going.

Hi Stephen, I tried Dragon years ago but I had to talk like a baritone for it to register my voice and I don't speak in a high voice. I'm sure they have improved over the last 20 years.Lol

Wow Lily! When I first started blogging I used a similiar formula, but I'd forgotten just how I went about. You've brought it all back to me. Thank you my friend. Jim
