In the same way we encourage slow-cooking, I think we should encourage slow-writing. :-) - Mario López-Goicoechea - Medium

To be sure: this is great advice. Writers improve by writing. Still, some of us are, how should I say… not fast? Slow to quite slow? Sloths in a world of jaguars? Which is totally fine, by the way. Sloths may be slow but they still have claws (see above). And learning to slow down a bit is something that writers of all speeds can benefit from.

Writing Slow is a Good Thing
