I’ll definitely follow them as I need to improve my writing skills

However, several weeks ago, I thought through my writing technique and decided to just try writing, without any editing whatsoever or even rereading what I write. Well, it seriously worked. I read over the article after writing it to the end, and it didn’t look as bad as I thought it would! While writing the article, I could think of tons of errors or ways that I could rewrite something… but after I was done writing, the end result just sounded more natural. I’ve found errors here and there, but it’s a lot faster if you just write and edit later.

I still get a nagging feeling to edit when I write. Over time, I bet this nagging feeling will disappear as I get more used it.

You have hit the nail right on the head, Dean. Writing an article is much like composing music. You first get the melody down, the basic theme that everything is tied to. Then, and only then, do you go back and add the strings, horns and percussion.

Likewise, an architect lays out the entire exterior frame before placing the windows and the doors. A writer’s job is to write. Don’t stop to wash the dishes while you are cooking the meal. If you do, dinner will always be late.
