Okay, so I did some math for this one lol I’ve done 15-minute writing sprints before and my average seems to be 300-350 words per 15 minutes (it’s been anything from 200 to 400 though haha), and since 5000-ish tends to be my average oneshot/chapter length, basically the absolute fastest I could realistically sit down and write in one sitting (without stopping!) would be about 4 hours.

That being said, considering how sometimes the words come much slower than that, and the amount of editing I go back and do, I would guess maybe 6-8 hours on average (not including breaks!) between the initial writing and then going back and editing/re-writing. But I’ve absolutely had some take more than 10 hours (I know this because I have a 10-hour white noise youtube video open in a tab that I almost always start playing when I write, and there have been a few times I’ve had it get through all 10 hours before I’ve finished what I’m working on 😅) However, I’ve definitely had some take as little as 4-5 hours when it’s not as long and I’m feeling very inspired!!!!
