<p>Can it be done? What's your record paper writing time?</p>
<p>I’ve written a 15-page article in a total of 12 hours in two days.</p>
<p>I can write a 15 page opinion paper in 30 minutes but it’s another story if it’s a research paper…</p>
<p>If I was pressed for time, I could write that in a day.</p>
<p>I just get to the library at 9am and just write until it’s late and I can’t concentrate any more.</p>
<p>…but instead you are wasting your time on CC :-)</p>
<p>rI wrote a seven page research paper in an hour last night, wasn’t difficult. You can totally knock out a 15 page one by Saturday morning. Aim to have it finished by Friday afternoon, so you can spend the rest of the evening editing and revising it.</p>
<p>I wrote a 24-page paper in about eight hours last semester.</p>
<p>Do you guys have tips? I don’t have this problem, but would like to hear how you guys do this? </p>

<p>For me, the hardest part of a paper like this would be starting it. Usually, I know exactly what argument I want to make, but not how to get there. So the first paragraph almost inevitable takes much longer than it should. Once I’m going, though, I can usually pound out a solid paper. I was able to write a 22-page paper in a day and a half.</p>
<p>However, I would wait at least an hour before going back to edit it, so you have fairly fresh eyes and are more likely to catch mistakes. My system is that I usually write a paper two nights before it’s due, and then edit it the night before. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>I’ve written 12 pages in 12 hours before. Trying to go beyond a page per hour is probably pushing it and will result in a much lower quality paper, IMO.</p>
<p>How do you write a 15 page paper in 30? Either you’re a genius or the paper is crap. I don’t think I can get 15 pages in 30 minutes if I did nothing but hold down the ‘s’ key.</p>
<p>In my papers, 1 page (1" margins) of double spaced 12 point font results in about 350 words per page. 15 pages would therefore be about 5250 words, which results in a typing speed of about 175 words per minute. Highly unlikely (the fastest non cheating typist on <a href=“http://play.typeracer.com/[/url]”>http://play.typeracer.com/</a> averages 189 wpm, and this is just retyping short passages, not coming up with something new). I would say about 2 hours is doable if you have a very strong idea of what you’re writing about and are not concerned at all about the mechanics and structure of the paper (it is crap).</p>
<p>12 page paper in my Mexican history class. Took me about four hours, I’d say. I don’t really recall though, that night was a blur. 
Good luck!</p>
