“How do you write so fast?”

I get that question all the time—and today, I’m answering it honestly.

Not with hustle culture advice.

Not with unrealistic expectations.

And definitely not with some secret shortcut.

In this From the Author’s Desk episode of Miles Beyond the Page, I’m breaking down what my writing process actually looks like—and why “fast” isn’t really the goal.

Because the truth is, I don’t write fast because I’m special.

I write fast because I’ve built a process that’s consistent, sustainable, and repeatable.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What “fast writing” really looks like in my day-to-day life
• Why writing in two sessions a day changed everything for me
• How discipline removes decision fatigue (and keeps the words flowing)
• What I don’t do while drafting—and why that matters
• The mindset shift that makes writing faster without burnout actually possible

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, felt behind on your writing goals, or wondered how authors produce so much work, this episode is for you.

Because writing fast isn’t about intensity.

It’s about showing up—again and again—in a way your creative brain can actually sustain.

I’d love to hear from you: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to writing consistently?
