Over on Ryze, Linda Bohrnerud asks how long it takes people to write articles. She writes for a business blog and talks working on two articles for over a week. John Williams responds that it is a bit like asking "how long is a piece of string". My first reaction was to think of Abraham Lincoln’s famous line. When asked how long a man’s legs should be, Lincoln responded, “long enough to reach the ground”. Probably the same applies to how long it should take to write an article. Long enough to make your point.
