Partly as an excuse and explanation of why there are no stories sometimes but also to enlighten my audience about important things:
How long does it (or do I) take to make something on this site?
Chapters are written at fairly random times (if I do have time), and usually not planned far ahead.
3-5 hours, 1800+ words. This takes by far the longest of the stories. It is the only one I do full editing on, meaning I re-read and edit the whole chapter after I'm done writing.
1-2 hours, 800+ words. Easier to write, because the chapters are much shorter and I don't re-read things like I do with Catherine. This is of course easier, but also makes it less detailed, usually.
1 hours, 200+ words. The only story I don't have a fixed minimum size for, mostly written for fun and silliness. But that's important too!
This varies quite a bit depending on original material and/or work.
1-3 hours. Varies heavily per comic and how much 'new' drawing needs to be done for each comic. Text effects might look simple, but usually they do require a bit of ingenuity. Most of the time multiple comics are made at the same time.
3-24+ hours. This varies even more, depending on the scope of the project. Usually worked on in separate chunks. A lot of projects change quite a bit in their lifetime as well.
1-24+ hours. Like interactives, some of these are done over multiple periods of time, evolving as they go along. Some are much easier when an idea is crystal clear in my head.
3-24+ hours. It's hard to tell how long I really take for music. Even when I sit down a song is often worked on for several hours spread out over a few days to re-listen and tweak.
Wow, looking back at all of this, I'm not so lazy after all!
