Just curious, be honest.
How long you guys usually spend on average writing an 8 line battle verse.
I'll start, I usually just bust them out in like 2 to 3 hour periods for higher effort ones.
I have spent upwards of 2 days though letting them simmer.

I require a long time to finish a verse, usually several days, but the actual amount of time spent writing is very low. Most of my concepts are just things that hit me while I'm doing something else. I doubt that I spend more than 15 minutes or so actually writing an 8-line verse with those concepts.

Shit I spend at most like 30 minutes on 16's. Compiling the concepts is something I do during my day to day life, but writing itself not much. Its probably what holds me back the most in terms of how good I can be.

Honestly depends. I wrote my 16 for phe in 2 hours when he called me out then got bodied. 8 line would take like 20-30 minutes if im focused. If im not maybe 10 more to try to get inspired lol.

How does being high affect your writing speed? (assuming that you're ever NOT high)

Eh 40% of the time I smoke before I write. I feel like I'm provided with an interesting change of perspective that seems to allow for a bit more fluidity in my structure. It definitely makes the process way faster if I get into my pocket and get actually inspired, though I will not lie, being high while focusing on writing for more than 20-30 minutes leads me to getting bored fast and switching to other tabs lol.
