I use arial size 14. It's not what I'd use to submit my work or anything just what strains my eyes less while looking at the screen, it will be changed eventually. So yeah, it would be less pages at a small font.
I didn't mean to make it sound like more than it was, it was just a lot for me! Most nights I type between five and ten pages.

I'm so envious of you guys. I barely pump out a page when I write (12 pt.) and it's usually so bad that I have to come back to it and re-write it the next couple days.

Ya I know, inner editor and all, but it's just so difficult to cut out. And usally I'm interrupted by homework, responsibilities, and people. Does anybody ever get that feeling, the I-just-had-it-and-now-it's-gone frustration that sets in right after you're on a roll and get interrupted?

Ya, I get that every night I write.

Yes. I have it all the time. I started bringing a recorded with me, so that I can rush all my thoughts out, and then listen to them later, in hopes of inspiring something. It works, sometimes.

Nope. I don't go to school so there is no homework, I choose to have no responsibilities that would get in the way, and I'd simply KILL any person who would interrupt me or stand in the way of my writing.

You're in a lucky position them. I've got exam revision and overly noisey house mates to contest with. They're an absolute pain.

I live with 11 people though and only have to put up with it for another 3 weeks so there isn't much point starting to bitch at them now.
