A typical article takes me about 2-3 hours to write, usually in a single session from start to finish. But many have taken 5+ hours, especially those that are 2000+ words.
Sometimes I sit down and decide to write an article in an hour. That virtually never works -- by the end of the first hour, I'm just getting a feel for the ideas, and I might even scrap or rewrite most of what I've written up to that point. Once I'm in that creative state, it's like I lose control. I can't stop until the baby is fully born, however long it takes. |
