Six pages will take roughly 1.3 hours to type on a keyboard and 2.5 hours to handwrite for the typical writer. So, yes, you can write six pages in an hour if you are very good at typing and do not mind getting sick writing by hand.
How does this work? First, you need something to write about. Then, you need to find a way to make each page unique. Finally, you need to keep going until all six pages are done. It's not easy, but anyone can do it if they put their mind to it.
Of course, there are other ways of writing a book than just typing out six pages per hour. You could be one of those people who writes a whole book by hand and then edits it down later. Or maybe you could write a book by jumping from topic to topic without ever really going back to re-write anything. The point is that even if you only write three pages an hour, you can still write a whole book in a month or less. It's up to you how fast you want to write.
Now, why would someone want to write a book in such a short amount of time? Well, sometimes life gets in the way of doing things properly.
Writing three pages on a keyboard will take roughly 37.5 minutes while handwritten will take about 1.3 hours. However, if the subject requires extensive research, connections, citations, or visuals, as in a blog piece or high school essay, the time might go to 5 hours. The average adult writer can complete one page every 4 minutes and another page every 8 hours.
To estimate how long it will take you to write three pages, simply divide the number of words you plan to include by 300 (the approximate number of words per page). For example, if you expect to write 2,000 words then your task will take approximately 50 hours. But if you plan to include only essential facts and opinions expressed in a brief format, then you can write 3 pages in 30 minutes. More realistic estimates are provided below:
Page 1: 4 minutes to write 500 words or less - you can do this in an hour.
Page 2: 8 hours to write 2,500 words - but you can do this in two hours.
Page 3: 30 minutes to write 2,000 words - you can do this in three minutes.
So, writing three pages takes about 50 hours if you want to include many details and sources, but only 3 hours if you prefer to keep it simple.
Writing four pages on a keyboard will take roughly 50 minutes for the typical writer, and handwriting will take about 1.7 hours. However, if the subject requires extensive research, connections, citations, or visuals, as in a blog piece or high school essay, the time might increase to 6.7 hours. Overall, writing a 4-page paper takes about 10 hours.
In reality, it's difficult to write a full-length paper in just one hour because you need time to think about the topic, plan out what you want to include, and work through any problems that come up. But if you were to use every minute of that hour, you could probably write something that would be good enough to submit.
The key is to not try to write the entire paper in one go. Divide the task into smaller parts - say, 15-minute intervals - and then you can stop when you've covered enough material to make your point.
It's also important to have some sort of structure in place before you start writing. That way, you won't waste time going back and editing things that don't fit into the main body of the essay or glossary entries that aren't accurate enough.
Finally, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to write a quality paper. It's easy to get distracted by other tasks or projects, so set aside a few days if you need to find the time to cover all your bases.
Writing 8,000 words using a keyboard will take roughly 3.3 hours for the typical writer, while handwriting would take about 6.7 hours. However, if the subject requires extensive research, connections, citations, or visuals, as in a blog piece or high school essay, the time might go to 26.7 hours. Then again, some people can write for 12 hours straight without rest, so it's possible.
In reality, writing an 8,000-word dissertation is a very arduous task that no one should attempt without proper training and resources. It's important to know your limit and not force yourself too hard too soon. You need energy left over for revision!
Furthermore, let me be clear about this: writing an 8,000-word dissertation is not a full-time job. If you try to write for more than 10 hours a day, seven days a week, you are going to fail. Research shows that human beings are capable of working for only three to four hours at a time before needing a break. So if you want to write an 8,000-word dissertation, you'll have to plan to work in bursts of 300 to 600 minutes (about five to ten hours).
Finally, keep in mind that once you start writing, it's difficult to stop. I've seen many a writer who started projects too late in the evening or on weekends, which is why they never get finished.
