one obvious idea that I didn't notice anyone else mention:

Another option is to go ahead and write the posts as fast as you think is optimal, but if you think this is too fast to actually post the stuff you've written, then you can wait a few days after you wrote it before posting.

LW has a handy "drafts" feature that you can use for that.

This also has the advantage that you have more time to improve the article before you post it, but the disadvantage that you may be tempted to spend too much time making minor, unimportant improvements. Another disadvantage is that feedback gets delayed.

If I sit on posts for too long, I start second-guessing myself and often wind up deleting them.
