Time spent in creating episodes

[Anableps]

I was wondering how long it takes to write the average episode? It seems that it takes me about 60 - 90 minutes. I have done some in as little as 10 minutes, and taken up to 4 hours on a few.

I would say that 10-30 minutes is typical for me, though obvious it varies according to the length of the episode and whether it's a "serious" episode or just a bit of light relief. That's the actual writing time, excluding all the time staring blankly into space or indulging in displacement activities.

It depends. Now in days, they take me around half an hour to two hours if it's a long episode or my ADHD is bad.

Thirty to Sixty is usual, I guess. Since work is boring, I usually try and run through ideas for new episodes in my head to take up time. Unfortunately, though, I sometimes forget details of previous episodes. This is frustrating when I have come up with what is for me a good idea only to find that some of it is incompatible with the thread I wanted to continue.

I find when I"m writing an episode, I try not to drag it out too long. If I have to use several episodes to get my point across, I do so.

I tend to lose interest if an episode is too long. This story is about making choices towards a desirable outcome. If I wanted to read something really long, I"d go pick up my copy of Stephen Kings "The Stand"...lol.
