Famous and very prolific author, Stephen King has stated that he tries to write for 2 hours a day which equals approximately 1,000 words per day.
DCP writes 8 hours a day and still hasn't managed to finish anything?! Here is a list of several famous prolific authors and how much they write per day (Not one author even comes close to DCP's 8 hours per):

Horsis Sicetnomensis stands at alert 8 hours per day. This animal not only has a prehensile nose but a strong swimming ability. When joined in a team, they can help tow an obsidian chariot across a river.

Yes, 100% of DCP's writings are publishable. And when I say publishable, I mean that they have all been published by other authors.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 12:28 pmFor Peterson, it's 100% since the majority it seems, he simply plagiarizes anyway.Imwashingmypirate wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:10 am
