minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink45•7 months agoIf college taught me anything, it’s that I can write thousands of words per night. Typically fastest in the wee hours of the morning. None of these words are good, mind you, but they are in fact words.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•7 months agoOh yeah. Some of my worst work is on those mega-inspired days where I sit for 10h and crank out 10000 words. To this day I don’t know why I do that if I end up throwing most of it away. Maybe it’s good to get bad plot out of the system.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•7 months ago December Haha, more like the entire next year.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 months agoFor me, a good day is about 1000 words. I really run out of juice after that and just type bland shit. That’s about 3 months for a decent draft.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoOh it depends massively for me. One of my best (IMHO) short stories is 8k and was written over 10-12h in a day. But that has to be a pretty special day. On bad days I usually go into the negatives 😂
