#if i could spit out 23k in 4 hours consistently i'd be writing novels all the damn time like whaaaat

[hood-ex]

Brain is malfunctioning bc I'm looking at a 23k fic, and the author said they wrote it in 4 hours... 4 hours?? What do you mean?? Your mind has really gotta be in the roughest draft of rough draft modes to be able to churn that out within that time.

How many words per hour can y'all get out? I mean, if I'm booking it and don't have to consider what I'm writing, I could probably get 2k in an hour, but that's generally not the case. I hem and haw over the details so much that it could easily take me 4 hours just to get 2500 words or so. Maybe even less words if I'm really struggling.

#if i could spit out 23k in 4 hours consistently i'd be writing novels all the damn time like whaaaat #it took me 3 months to write 22k for one fic 😭 and i feel like i was working on it pretty consistently at the time #i'm just like... 4 hours?? huuuh?? #did you do hella pre-planning for that or is your brain just that magical??
