Nobody writes well written prose.
Everyone writes, then does a better or worse job of editing. Like code, prose tends to crystalize into smaller and higher quality pieces over time.
--- Process ---
Write all of your thoughts in a stream of consciousness flow, don't worry about how it looks, just get your thoughts out of your head, and into the storage medium of your choice. This frees up stack space in your brain.
Next - Iterate. Strategies you can use to help include:
- Read it out loud to yourself. You'll immediately notice typos, grammatical and flow issues.
- Walk away from it to gain some distance in time and space. When you come back you'll notice gaps or repetitions.
