In my experience, this isn't true. When revising, most of my time is spent considering what changes I can make and not putting them into practice. If the bottleneck is thinking, raising your typing speed will provide marginal gains at best.
- JoshTriplett 6y agoI'm not suggesting that revising is solely a matter of re-reading and re-typing. I'm suggesting that I've found them to be a notable component, and that I can do more revising when I can quickly take a possible revision and type it out and reread it to see how it looks.
- Kinrany 6y agoIt's true if you're using writing for thinking. (Not claiming that that's actually faster, or otherwise.)
