It's kind of stupid to be limited by days. A good book have to be written down carefully and slowly, so you express yourself exactly like you wanted to. In my case, i wrote a 40,000 words novel in 28 days, but it depends on the book and the author.

Sure the time periods tiny but it's just impractical for anyone except for students on summer vacation. If you hurry and try to rush your writing to be finished it wont be AS good as normal so I would only recommend this as a LAST RESORT. If your having trouble meeting your deadline just ask your publishers to extend the date for you. Chances are they'll see tht if they tryn rush you the writings will suffer and so it's in their best interests not to.

@TrevorsIRLvlogs Yeah because they either were taught or they read a lot to where they pick up what other people do. I was being weird 6 days ago lol. I was overthinking things. Btw, you don't just tell people they shouldn't be a writer merely because they were confused about certain things. If they want to be a writer then they can go for it. Anyone can write if they can just get their thoughts down on paper for the reader to comprehend whats going on. Thats the basic concept.
