I take far too long to push prose, and it's cramping my professional style.

I'm of two minds about the problem, and problem is the term I'm using because whether or not I believe my slothful style is a disadvantage I am resolved to change.

Writing slowly is hampering me at work; I can't seem to crank out stories fast enough to match the pace of our interns and bloggers, even when I have the entire day to write. On days when I actually have other obligations (i.e. my actual job) to attend to, my editorial presence in our publication becomes nonexistent.

At the same time, I don't take my time because I'm a slow typist or a plodding, sodding fool; I take my time because I value my byline and want every sentence beneath my name to be something I'm proud of. Though the rapid rollercoaster rise and fall of my arrogance inevitably causes every article to fall beneath my prideful expectations, I have a hard time regretting the time I waste. I waste it choosing the right words, checking the facts and building my work to be both aesthetically pleasing and easy to read/follow, with brief paragraphs and copious linking.

It sucks that care and consideration are less valuable than volume. I am resolved to improve in all respects.

Writing Time: 10-15 minutes
