There are two camps with regards to speed in writing.

One says that anything good must come from a concerted effort, taking time to work through each pain-staking detail.

In this camp, anything written quickly has diminished quality and never be “that” good.

Another camp says speed is the only way to finish stories, as it accelerates your learning about the craft through sheer volume.

In this camp, stories are written, shipped and left to the audience to decide whether they’re any good.

The problem is there are award-winning, internationally best-selling authors in both these camps. There are also staples of literature on both sides as well.

This leave us with the only logical conclusion:

Art takes as long as it needs and the speed at which its produced has little (if anything) to do with quality or longevity.
