Measure your writing speed from words written and time spent.
Dividing words written by the hours spent gives an average pace, which scales to per-minute and a full work-day projection. This is a running average that smooths over productive and slow stretches. Clear pace data underpins realistic deadlines, so tracking it stops writers from promising more than a sustainable output allows.
