"Trollope... spent half an hour reading over and correcting what he has written the day before. Then, with a clock in front of him. He managed 250 words every quarter hour covering ten pages and producing on average 2500 words before he set off for a full day's work on Post Office business. His manuscripts suggest that he did virtually no rewriting."
