Writing Stories at High-Speed

When you absolutely, positively, HAVE to get the story done.

The trick to speed writing is to Plan out the story first, more commonly known as Plotting. 

"Diabolic" was written in 30 days -- all 15 chapters at 2,500 to 3,000 words per chapter, adding up to around 80k. A novel is 90k to 100k. I was able to do this because I already knew my main characters really well, (Vincent and Sephiroth of Final Fantasy VII,) and I knew where my story ENDED. Basically, once I knew where I wanted to go, all I had to do was figure out how to get there.

When you’re on a time limit, plotting out the major turning points in your story is a far, far faster method than simply waiting on the muse for inspiration.
