Do you generally write faster on commission or is it about the same speed?

The same speed, which is generally fast. I’ll be honest, I make my money here through quantity, so my goal as far as commissions go is to write them at a rate of $20-$30 dollars an hour, which is about 1000-2000 words an hour. But that’s how fast I write pretty much everything, so quality is the same as just about everything else I write. That time also doesn’t include time spent consulting on the idea and editing the final product–I try to edit commissions better than my usual stuff, of course.
