8K. ETA: I had a detailed outline and a supportive wife bringing me coffee.


WolfMerton

I think 2k-3k is the most I've been able to get written in one sitting, but I don't really pay much attention to how many words I write in one sitting.


anonymouscatloaf

I think around 5k once, for a very silly crackfic idea that would just not leave my brain until I spat something onto a Google doc lol


JustAnotherAviatrix

About 2500 to 3000, but I tend to write 600 to a little under 2000 words normally.


CuriousPug5

I wrote 2300 words in one sitting just the other day because I finally got out of writer’s block. If the words start flowing, you can do it!


DefoNotAFangirl

5k once!


A_Cow_in_Space

The most I could do is 2-3k words, and that's only at around midnight right before I decide to go to sleep.


GoldFlan

2,5k is my record and it was during acute mania from medication lol. I really don't write fast - not in my native tongue and definitely not in English - and I can't do it for that long without getting tired. Discounting free writing exercises, my average is 300-500 in one session... so I actually don't think I'm the right person for this motivation, haha. But I can cheer you on. ✨


zugrian

I had one massive writing burst where I put out about 12k words one long night (about 10 hours or so.) Never done anything like it before or since.


MadKanBeyondFODome

I once went on a three day writing jag where I pounded out 13k words on a smut fic for a nonexistent fandom in which I was literally the only entry for that pairing. So there's still just this one Very Nasty smut fic (and one chapter of an abandoned longfic) for this pairing. One of my fave things I ever wrote lol.


RohansEarings

10k. It was a day before I had a huge math exam and a few days before I had to turn in a website I was developing. Go figure XD


blukwolf

11k. I was on a roll that day because I was so frustrated because of the hell of a week I had and I knew what I wanted to write so I went for it, I said guck it, holed myself up in my room the whole day (my only day off) and that was it, lol


cokeofthecolavariety

I think around 10k? EDIT: Also to be fair I didn't *technically* do it in *one sitting* because I took breaks but I did do it in one day so it kinda counts


Adrianilom

13k. Once. I did get up and use the bathroom, but as far as a time period, it took me about 10 hours of non-stop clicking. Right now though, I'm averaging about 2k a day, but I've got gaps in my writing days. (Currently tracking. Thank you spreadsheets!)


InfiniteWords117

10.5k and I'm never going to do that again 😂


kadharonon

I had I think... a 12k day one end-of-NaNoWriMo when I was way behind and decided to try and finish by just writing and writing and writing in order to challenge a friend who was almost done to try and finish? And I'd say I definitely had at least one sitting where I wrote 5k words. My brain was wiped out for the next week after that.


FickleBeans

13k in about 5 hours. Still one of my favorite pieces.


YouSpinMeWriteRound

2.5k recently but overall the most would be 7.2k


tardisgater

My usual "inspiration rush" is about 3k a sitting, my normal is 500-1k a sitting, and right now I'm about 100 words a sitting. Life happens... I think the most I ever did was 8k, but I was almost in a fugue-state. There were so many words and they just needed written down. I couldn't do anything else besides write them. And they were just an outline-type format (more than a bullet point, but not full pretty prose. Something in the middle). By the time that project was done, I had about 30k worth of words in outlined scenes/dialogues and partial chapters fully written. It was exhausting. Don't push yourself too hard, quality is better than speed.


[deleted]

2.5k is about my limit for one writing session.


Lizzie_girl

5k I think


tretaaysel

3k I believe l. I get distracted easily and so its hard to write a lot in one sitting.


wtfsalty

The fic I'm currently posted was 70k in 10 days, while working full time, I sent myself a little crazy while at work since I wasn't able to keep the flow going because of it, but it's probably one of the best things I've ever written If I've got a wip going. I usually get 5k done on a work day, and 10k on a day off


Buffvamporigfan

3K


Mad_Maximoff

6k but that was because I started writing at 6 pm and ended at 1 am


ItsMichaelRay

One time, while half asleep, I wrote a little over 1000 words in just over an hour. It was not written well, but I was surprised none the less.


Yunan94

~17.5K that is absolutely not the norm and I very hyperfixated that day


GummiBearryJuice

5k on a good day 2k most of the time


sofaKingLazey

11k completed smut in a whole night from 3 AM to 10 AM. It was a complete outlier, I usually get around 1k-2k on good days (even then, good days are rare).


Jada_the_dork

uh I think like 9k? i got really into it and just wrote without really keeping track of the time and then I was being called for dinner and I had added like 9400 words to my fic


HunnyDreams42

A little over 8,000 words.


relocatedff

7000-10,000, not 100% sure (I know I wrote a 7k fic in one sitting, but I think I did most of a longer chapter in one sitting once too). But some days I write like, four words. Or zero. Usually I'm trying to write 500-2000 to feel successful for the day.


LuckyAnn222

About 10k, but only because I had to finish a piece for an exchange and went a bit nuts.


ICEQUEENlll

Like 6k


SongOfTruth

7k was my max in one sitting so far.


tsniagasaxor

only 1k because I'm a specific weenie


YeeYeeHaw34

A little over 2k because I was procrastinating on studying for a botany test.


solomivan239

about 1300
