I should try and track the time spent on my own essays and see how it stacks up.
I am writing on what it is like, while Learning to Draw.
So far, I estimate each of my posts takes about 4-6 hours of writing, re-writing and editing. Plus an hour or so to illustrate, sometimes more. Then formatting etc., takes 1-2 hours at least.
I will try timing them actually see how it goes.

This resonates with me! I haven’t tracked my time on a single comic page, but I find myself spending the most time in the same places you do.
Glad I'm not alone! The thinking really is the hardest part!
Very Useful Essay!
