Here's a tip from a fellow writer to you. Want to find out if your story "sounds" right? Put it through YAKiToMe, a free online text to speech application.

I'm going to say this out on a whim here. How can these writers write so damn fast? A four thousand word long story. How long would it take you to write one? A week, a month. How about a year? It probably took me that long because I was not writing everyday, but when I do write, in three hours of work I would have about three paragraphs done. Then when I hit the two thousand mark I rewrite the entire thing because it makes no sense. Then I rewrite the new paragraphs I just wrote because it's too bland, and then it's to repetitive, and then plot holes appear, and then the plot makes no sense again.

It's kind of sad when other fanfiction writers can write readable stories faster than I am able to write a single sentence.
