oh god, well, it sorta depends on a lotta factors— the biggest of which are 1) how long the commission is, and 2) how much free time / energy i have. I can knock out 1000 words in a day or two, but the longer it gets, the longer the wait. it also depends on how many other commissions and personal projects i have going! a previous 5k-word commission took six weeks because of the length, the other comms i had to work on at the same time, and the fact i had an in-person job. so it can vary WILDLY.
