Due to the overheads of reloading the mental model into your head every morning and quitting at a stable place every evening, you are less efficient. The rework risks also go up (the chunks you write and have to throw away) with size and breakdown structure.

Probably less than 0 actually. Negative if you count all those people writing words on non-free servers and not making anything from it.

Note that this entire thread is about just the input costs of writing alone, assuming nothing very special in terms of research beyond just casual reading you would do anyway/living life and using that as fodder.

Special research costs that can be directly attributed to the writing itself: - Reading things you would not otherwise read - Archival research - Interviewing - Travel for on the ground data collection

Research costs that should NOT be attributed to writing are costs that can be attributed to a higher-value output. Ie research on a time machine to write about a time machine is not really research about the the writing, since the time machine is the more valuable output.
