    ^ Gosh. :cheese: Just...gosh.

    I used to stay up until all hours of the morning writingwritingwriting, for hours on end, I'd get so much done, but I've found I just can't do that anymore.
    I do just write until I can't think properly anymore, but it's usually only after a few hours.

    I can't seem to write for all that long.
    Sure, if I get an idea and the words keep coming, I'll write for as long as I can.
    But I get distracted and feel uninspired sometimes.

    My limit is stopping myself once I no longer feel the inspiration. If I keep going with an idea and I'm not inspired, I just know it's going to turn out not as well as I could make it and I just have to stop.

    But once I'm on a roll with something, I keep going and going. There's really no limit unless my inspiration runs out altogether.

    Usually I write until I literally get stuck and can't think anymore. Then I go off and do other things, a lot of times this includes writing another story, and when another idea comes to me, I write some more.

    Sometimes I'll write one chapter and stop, other times I'll just write and write and write until it's the early hours of morning and I need sleep.

    I can't write during the day xD I seriously can't, I write a lot more when it's night.
    But when I do write at night and/or I block out distractions, I can write a lot. A couple chapters at a time, usually.

    Depends really. Often my only limit is a physical one. I literally have to stop at least for a little bit because my wrist is dying in a flaming ball of agony. Other than that my only limit is a reasonable stopping point when my ideas for that moment are finally all used.

    I can usually only write for about 45 minutes before I need a short break XD I'm the same way when it comes to studying, though.

    It depends, sometimes I could write one chapter thats over 1000 words and then a few hours later only write a chapter that's like 500-800 words. Plus I'm on my phone, so staying in it for to long hurts lol. Breaks are needed. Lol

    I usually write until I get distracted, which sometimes happens a lot, but other times I can get through a couple of pages.

    For me, I write until I feel....empty, for lack of a better word. I write my stories until I feel that if I were to post it on here right then, the readers would like it. But that could also mean I write for ten minutes or that means I write for six hours. It also depends on where I am in the story. If I'm at a "fluff" part, it takes me longer. If I'm at a pivotal part, it takes me a shorter amount of time because I'm so into that part.

    Sometimes I would write a page, and then stop for a bit. Then, maybe I will come back to it that day or the next day.

    I think I'm actually the opposite. It takes me a while to get started, but the the longer I write, the longer I want to keep writing.
