[QUOTE="Scribe Ineti, post: 1676013, member: 5466"] I love reading about other writers' experiences! Is that for gaming in specific, or writing in general? When I write short stories and longer fiction, I can usually crank out 1000-1400 words an hour if the muse is really whispering in my ear. I can maintain that pace for maybe 2-3 hours before I have to slow down. I usually manage to get a ~5000 word short story done in 2-3 days. However, I know writers who write that in a day, every day, seven stories a week or six novels a year. They really scare me. The last large RPG product I did was about 23,000 words and a bunch of stats. The stat blocks took me two weeks to put together, which I got the vast majority of the non-stat writing done over a long weekend. Given the choice, I'd rather have spaced it out, but I wanted to get it done ahead of deadline so I could get it off my plate. :) [/QUOTE]
