Today's lesson was to keep my articles short and keep the time I take to write them down. Succeeded with the first article (about 20 minutes and 450 words which is real good for me!) but had to do a little research on the second one and not counting that time, it took about an hour to write. I used Labman's advice and had an essential outline for the first one but used the notes I took (and paragraphs I started writing while doing the research) for the second. It took me about 45 minutes to write and about 700+ words. I could write 5 a day and still have time to do everything else I have to do if I can keep them all short and sweet and outlined first!
