Oh yeah. Some of my worst work is on those mega-inspired days where I sit for 10h and crank out 10000 words.

To this day I don’t know why I do that if I end up throwing most of it away.

Maybe it’s good to get bad plot out of the system.

For me, a good day is about 1000 words. I really run out of juice after that and just type bland shit. That’s about 3 months for a decent draft.

  Oh it depends massively for me. One of my best (IMHO) short stories is 8k and was written over 10-12h in a day.
  
  But that has to be a pretty special day.
  
  On bad days I usually go into the negatives 😂
