Two bits of advice.
1. Write explosively - don't check your spelling and syntax when you're churning out plot driven material. Do your spell check and grammar correction at the end of each chapter.
2. Rewrite everything at least twice. Take out non essentials and tighten up dialogues. Double check continuity and clue dropping. Burn words like 'that', 'now' and 'just'. Do this after your first draft.
I hope that's useful.
