Nine out of ten writing experts say the same things about how to write better.

This article is about that one who gives those nine the finger.

Many new writers don’t know where to start when it comes to writing and are bombarded with standard “how-to” and time hacking articles and courses. This matters because if a new writer wants to stand out, they need new tactics and techniques. Unusual ones to boot.

This article is for new or experienced writers who want to write faster, more effectively and engage their audience in unconventional ways.

We all have nutty busy lives, whether we are full-time writers or soon-to-be.

So if you can chunk out some extra time — why not?

When it comes to writing, it’s essential to understand that the rules are there to be broken.

Many times, following the standard “how-to” advice, can actually lead to slower, more ineffective writing. It’s stifling even.

You can speed up your writing process by ignoring the rules, trying something different, and creating more engaging content.
