I am not a very good typist and my most used key is the backspace.
I guess that these days I average between 1o00 and 1600 words a post and often I am in some kind of flow when I write and it takes me less time in that case. I reckon that after years of practice, it is between an hour and two hours, depending on subject, as some are harder than others.
However, I often spend time doing a bit of research and pottering around various interfaces and I estimate that on a normal day, I am here about 6-9 hours and up to 12 on weekends. The other thing is that unless I post from work, I will nearly always sit around and wait to answer the first comments at least. These days, it can be for an hour or more, as people tend to comment less. Part of the reason I go to bed so late is that generally the only time I have to write is after everyone else sleeps, so then waiting for comments puts it at around 2 in the morning.
I sort of knew it, but wanted to hear exact numbers from you. 6 hours here on top of your day job..jobs? And you spend time with your family... so the obvious next question is, how many hours do you sleep on average?
I generally get about 4-5 hours a night and when I get home with my daughter from daycare, while she eats a snack, I take a 15 minute nap.
My wife has "allowed" me space in many ways to be able to work and it has been frustrating for her at times, but since I will likely be able to pay off the house 25 years early, she is biting her tongue ;D
prenup or no prenup? xd
25 years early!!
When you do that please write a major post. We will ask Boomy to do the artwork for it and we will NFT it and sell limited editions to your fans, that way you get that vacation home by a lake. How's that for a plan?
I'd hope Boomy will make a stick-figure gif for it :)
It would be pretty awesome to get something out of all this work and I think my wife has been accommodating enough that she should get more than a vacuum cleaner :D
