This is just a slight variation on the old "How many
pages per day should a TW be able to write?" question.
And that question is valid for word processing
secretaries - not for professional communicators.

In the TW assignment that I am most proud of, it took
me about a month to compose nine smallish paragraphs.
In the TW assignment that I am most embarrassed of, I
cranked out four to six pages a day (for many a
month).

The objective is effective communications - not word
or page count. Does not matter if we are creating new
material or "maintaining" old documentation.
