I can write an article in 20 - 25 minutes, including media and editing. I had to be fast when I worked for Yahoo News. In fact, I would regularly write 10 articles daily and get them done in four hours or less. It's possible. Many of my best piece were written quickly.

One of my most read essays on Medium is 1600 words, and I completed it in 36 minutes. Yes, I time my articles and log how long it takes me. I realize it's weird, but I like to see how long each type of writing takes me. lol
