As per the title, how fast do you write.
In several discussions both here and on the NaNoWriMo forum I've seen people talk about their writing speed (and refer to it as either fast or slow). Which left me wondering, what actually counts as writing fast or slow? How fast do people write?
I know that word count per hour is actually pretty meaningless, because one person could write 100 words per hour but have them be absolutely perfect, while someone else could write 1.000 words an hour and need 20 rewrites. But I'm still curious. What counts as fast and slow and how fast do you write?
For myself, I average about 500 words an hour I think. I can do more if I know what I'm writing about (yes, that sounds silly, but some scenes just flow more naturally then others).
