I seem to take a really long time writing one episode. It’s usually because I take a lot of breaks and coding takes a long time. How long do you guys take?

If I’m working with a lot of motivation to finish, I can finish around 3k lines in 3-4 days (without waiting for approvals and since I’m in quarantine)
But since I have very little, I just write whenever I want or feel like it. Which is usually around at least 1-2 months

I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes that long, I always feel like I’m really slow:/ haha

When I was writing my Episode stories, it normally took me around 1 month to write 1 episode.

Realistically, it depends on how fancy the directing will be and how branched the episode is, but no less than 12 hours (excluding procrastination time). I’d say average is 15-20 hours for a ~10 minute episode with fairly basic directing and no major branching.

Depends on how motivated i am and the coding. Without procrastinating and all the time in the world, probably 10 hours. Since that’s not the case, about a week since i get them beta read for mistakes before i move on to the next chapters.

Where I live, we go back to school so probably 3-5 days. But if I’m not motivated it probably takes just over a month.

the fastest i can do is 1 scene per day and that’s if im on a big coding binge. probably a week to fully code an episode and another few days to clean it up

Mine take around 15-30 hours to complete (hours combined that I’m working on it) I use a lot of overlays and spot directing (I never ever use the basic screen positions) so it takes a very very long time for me to write haha

This chapter took me 2 weeks. But usually I’ll finish in 6 days.

Motivation is a big key part for me. Since my fantasy story is advanced, and it requires much more attention and “re-previewing” like 100 times before I’m satisfied, I’ll still go over a checklist and end up spending another 2 days on it. Usually takes up to a week on an important episode/chapter.
