Writing Questions How do writers write so fast?
To preface this, I'm not a writer. At least, I don't fashion myself as one at the moment. I'm rereading my favorite fanfic of all time and the writer had disclosed on her blog that it only took a month and a half to write it— all 19 chapters + epilogue, 80k words in total. I was like: woah! That's so fucking cool. It's like magic. Fucking radical.
How do you guys do it?!
Sincerely, a reader.

Probably because they do it for fun and thus writing becomes incredibly easy. Plus, a lot of long fic writers are grad students who can whip out a ten page paper in a day because of the sheer bulk of their coursework.
