The fastest way to succeed as an author is to write more books. How do you do that with a day job, family, school, or all your other time commitments? The secret is efficiency. 5,000 Words Per Hour will help you maximize your writing time by building effective habits that both measure and increase your writing speed. Create an effective writing habit. Track and improve your WPH. Stop the endless editing and tinkering so you can finish your draft. Use voice dictation software to dramatically increase words per hour. It's time to shift your writing into high gear.

After putting Chris's methods to use, my word count a day went from 750 - 1000 to over 2000 words, and I spent less time writing! All I did was find a quiet place, press a timer, and suddenly my inner editor was no where to be heard. Sure, the writing that resulted was less than grammatically correct, but it takes all but minutes to go back and edit punctuation and misspelling.
When I compared the writing I did during sprints to when I was taking my sweet time, it was just as good - if not better. The key difference was I had no time to judge myself.
This worked for me - and I can't wait to see how my word count improves in the months to come with this method.
You could probably save a few bucks by googling what word sprints are but I recommend hearing Chris's take on it. His story is interesting, and all too relatable to the aspiring unpublished writer.

The only tip I personally would outright reject was using voice dictation to increase speed. That seems to work well for some people, but for those of us who find communication 1000x easier in writing than speaking, it would be more a hindrance than a help. I would die a thousand deaths if anyone overheard me dictating a horribly messy rough draft, and that discomfort would freeze me up, not make me faster, so I'll never be one to apply that tip.
Otherwise, there were some excellent tips and encouragement in here, some of which I do already, and I'd say it would be worth a read for most writers. If you can apply all of this advice and it really helps you, that's great. But if you're just not a hardcore plotter (I can plot a bit when needed, but there I times I have to push forward and pants for a while or I'd stay stuck for a long time. Interestingly enough, staying stuck for long periods of time was his big critique about pantsing, which just shows how differently each individual's brain can work., LOL.) and some of his suggestions don't work for you, that's okay too! Writing with the intent of publishing is a long game and while speed can be helpful, IMO, other writer qualities like endurance and consistency are just as important. Do what works for you!
*Note for young writers: Fox uses mild profanity throughout, so just a heads up for that
