Time it takes to make a rp post

[Super Buu]

As a little consolation for those who're as slow as I am, most professional writers don't do a great deal every day either. Philip Pullman does roughly 1100 words a day. From what I hear, that's about average. My seminar teacher, who's a published writer, says that on some days he'll get about 500 words done, and on other days he'll get 3000. When he rereads it the next morning, he find that with the latter, it's usually a load of crap (in his own words) and he needs to spend ages revising it, and with the former, it's the opposite. I'm a firm believer in this, since I experience it myself.

If anything I think I've gotten slower as time goes on. But that's simply because I've been spending more time trying to make my stuff better. And when I look back at my first posts, I can see I'm right.

Off Chubbs, though, that's probably not the best way of writing. The best way is to let yourself write crap, and then go back and revise it. Posts are always easier to self-C&C when you leave it for a while, so that when you return it doesn't have the novelty it did when you first finished it. Unfortunately on Chubbs that's often not the case, whereas lucky novel writers can do it anytime between writing and publishing.
