Challenge yourself to write 15 minutes of quality online article


If you want to get something you may never achieve it if you don't go for it. Once you have the desire and commitment, confidence will follow suit.

I have elaborated and emphasized that you must develop a super speed article writing skill. Just like runners, they would not know how good they are or how much progress they are making if they don't gauge their performance. Logically for runners, they would time how long they take to cover an equal distance each time. Progress will be when the time taken is getting shorter and shorter.

So that is how you should challenge yourself for this task. I have devised a simple tool to do this. What it does is to count the number of words you type along with a countdown timer. You must typed 300 or more words when the count down timer reached 0 from 900 seconds (15 minutes). If you can do this, then you are getting there.

Before doing this of course you must have some ideas of what to write in your article. But do not jot it down on paper or type as a gist in your notepad. What you do is keep those points in your head.

Just decide on the title with the right keywords. When you do this you are already constructing what you want to write as contents. There should not be many points to elaborate as after all this is a short article. But do format it properly in this way:-

Title - with the right keywords and punchline
Contents :
Introduction - tell your would be readers what you will be covering.
Points - This could be even 1,2 or 3 points depend on how detail you want the article to be. But do not exceed your word count too much.
Conclusion - You would not have the time nor the length to close your article properly like summarizing what you had just wrote. But just enough not to let your article stop abruptly.

Then start typing. Remember to keep an eye on both your words count and your countdown timer.
Visit this blog of mine at Articles4 Everything [http://articles4everything.blogspot.com/] to use the simple tool mentioned above. It can be accessed from the links under "TextBoxing"

Good luck and speedy writing.

By the way, I am closing this at 123 secs left with 390 words countdown.
