Truth there. My average weekly post is something like 6,000 words and people ask 'how do you write that much' - but that misses the point. It'd be a lot harder and a lot more time consuming to write *less* because I'd have to edit more. Overwriting is easy!https://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1291028091826049025 …

I can bash out a 2000 word tumblr post in like an hour, when I have things to say. When I'm doing serious formal writing, I feel good when I get 300 words in a day. (That second number needs to improve, but the contrast will always be there.)
Ayep. My formal writing runs at about 500 words a day or so. 1,000 on a very good day. Every so often I'll have a 'sprint' day where the muse strikes me, but it is rare (and often requires more intensive editing later). And then I'm pretty much useless for the rest of the day
