Don't you wish that you had all the time in the world to get all that writing down. Wouldn't it be nice if time crawled at half time while you writing supersonic speed? Gee! That would mean we could get our work done twice as fast. And yet still have time to rewrite and polish our work.
I have written a large portion of my latest novel at supersonic speed. There were many grammer and punctuation errors, but these can be easily fixed. I wrote like a maniac. When I was finished I was pleased with what I had written but here is where revision is so very important. Now you can put everything in the proper tense, add more to the story , and correct those minor boo-boos. That's why it is always best to write your work out and leave it for a few days to a week. Then go back and re-read it to see how well you have accomplished what you wanted to say as well as let you see the mistakes.
