I worked on the article I'm editing for about 1.5 hours, just reading, adding punctuation, and structuring sentences. I like to be very thorough when I edit.
I've also worked on a writing article for about an hour but feel stuck now.
@InvaderStitch great job being thorough! Editors are very detailed people. I hope you were able to break through writer's block, it happens to all of us. I find taking a break and walk outside for a little bit tends to help. :D
I submitted an article this week and I spent 2 hours writing.
@Katheryn Woot!!
I spent 2 hours searching for pages/articles that need a 7 cups link
Happy 1 week of being a part of the Content Volunteer Team - I tracked some of my work last week and am sharing now!
As an Editorial Assistant: 3 hours.
- 16 July: Spent 3 hours editing my very first article! I found a suitable featured image, edited formatting, found relevant links, and even got to learn the HTML part!
As a Writer: 4 hours.
- 16 July: Spent 1 hour looking for possible candidates for article series.
- 17 July: Spent 1 hour outreaching the possible candidates and experts.
- 19 July: Spent 2 hours interviewing my very first candidate.
@SoulfullyAButterfly awesome! Congrats! 👍👍
@Katheryn - thank you!
@SoulfullyAButterfly Loved your recap, great job managing multiple roles!
@wordgirl73 Thank you so much, it has been a fun week - I like being occupied and was glad to start this journey.
I've submitted my first article here today! The hours were 4, an hour of research, two of writing and another one for editing.
@soothingBreeze49 Woo-hoo! Feels so great hitting the "send" button on a finished piece, thank you!!
2nd Week - was a bit slow. I have been a bit ill and also, the non-writing part of the writing process is definitely sometimes long! New things being learned though
As an Editorial Assistant: 2 hours.
- 22 July: Spent 2 hours editing and completely submitting my second edited article, alongside featured image and HTML.
@SoulfullyAButterfly Probably my biggest surprise becoming a writer is how much writing is actually NOT writing! But a well-researched piece is always going to be a better experience for the reader and for the company in terms of placing in Google search. Thank you for your thoughtful prep!
@SoulfullyAButterfly Also I hope you are feeling better!
@wordgirl73
I spent almost 3 hours on writing and just submitted my first writing assignment. Also, spent 2 hours today on my editing assignment I am almost done with and would be submitting it soon.
@Soothingsunrise Yay! Thank you for all your hard work!
Hi there, I am here after spending almost 3 hours editing and submitting another article, hoping I performed better than the last time. Waiting for the feedback. :)
@Soothingsunrise Thank you so much for your hard work! It's a learning process, and I still am learning every day even being in this career for 20 years. :)

I discovered this thread a little late,
I have researched and wrote two articles in the past two weeks (out of which one even got publlished), I also edited one article.
Currently I started writing the third article and researching for the next two articles.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I dont remember exactly how many hours I gave for the first two articles, but i assume it should've been minimum 5hours for both of the previously written articles.
The ones I started today, I've given almost two hours to them as of now.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I finished my 3rd article today, gave approximately 3 hours of research and writing.
I will be submitting it by tommorow morning after a proof read.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I edited two articles today in almost an hour and submitted my article.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I submitted my fourth article today, it took around 5 hours in total to write, edit and research over this piece.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
@LetsSpreadHappiness Thank you for all your hard work!
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I submitted my 5th article today, again it took me approximately 6 hours to research, write and edit it. I hope it is satisfactory
.
@LetsSpreadHappiness
I submitted my 6th article today, approximately 5 hours of mine went into writing it.
Started researching for my next piece.
@wordgirl73
Hello! Guess who submitted a second article! I've worked on it for 5 hours!
@soothingBreeze49 Thank you for taking so much time to write, it can take a lot longer than most people who aren't writers think. I appreciate your work!
