    about 5 minutes, but I type between 60-75 wpm and I think rather quickly.

    It depends on what it is about, but I think 15minutes is probably accurate for a typical speed while researching a little about what your talking about.

    If I am writing on something I know A LOT about, then 3 minutes. If it takes some time, 10 minutes. If its extremely difficult, then 20. I'm a fast typer and researcher.

    Yes, I thought about my comment today and realized that I probably take more like 10-15 minutes if I don't know what I want to say. It's when I already have an opinion that I can bang an article out in five minutes.

    It took me around 45 minutes including research time. Getting the message across is my priority and not the time it took to finish it.

    I take about 20 minutes. Finding a suitable image for the blog post is the hardest part for me.

    You should check out fotolia.com or istock.com. Quite wasting your time and find some quality images you legally own.

    It depends on the subject. But you could give it to a article writer. Fast and simple but it cost money.

    I take half a day to write an article. I write, then think, do other things and then come up with more ideas. Research the topic well, then start compiling points off line on my diary... then assemble those points online and then do proof reading, i know my English is not good, so i go through many a times before finally publishing it.

    Shoot, I usually stick with articles in the thousands which takes an hour or so. For me I would say 250 = 10-20 min depending on how much I have to think. Now if I know exactly what I want to say then 5 min or so.

    Im not sure, i dont count my words and my articles differ in length, but it doesn't take me long to write a decent article.

    Sometimes it just flows outta you, im sure you all know what i mean. :)

    My times can differ from 20mins to and hour, depends if i need to confirm some of what im writing about.
