Overview
When the clock is ticking and the page is blank, this book provides fast answers
for those writing under pressure.
Anyone who regularly deals with work-related writing deadlines knows the kind of paralysis that can take over when there’s too much to accomplish and not enough time to compose a clear sentence. This book contains an easy, efficient, and confidence-building process for keeping up and being productive, even under tight time constraints and concentration-sapping obstacles. The book contains an immediately usable approach based on the mnemonic DASH, standing for the four critical components most needed for writers working under pressure:
• Direction—hit the ground running with a sense of urgency and purpose
• Acceleration—write on the fly with a ‘beat-the-clock’ mindset and an attitude that prizes volume over perfection
• Strength—hold fast in the midst of chaos by employing a sensible quality controlling system and creating an environment conducive to writing
• Health—assume a proactive stance by prioritizing work and preventing emergencies to minimize future pressures
Filled with helpful tools and time-saving techniques, this indispensable guide reveals how anyone can break through writer's block and write faster and better.
