Paul_of_TX replied to Steven Carpenter's discussion Reading to writing ratio in college and jobs

Depends on what you do, the purpose for which you're writing, and how well you know what you're talking about.? As you learn more,?it takes less research to get your bearings and make your point.

?

I'm an attorney.? I don't write many "research reports" anymore.? For the most part, I write more than I research.? For the occasional wild-goose-chase motion or brief, I'll have to research?longer than I write -- but that doesn't happen all that often.? Writing is production.? Research is overhead.? I try to reduce the latter as much as I can.

?

I imagine a history writer, for instance, might answer differently.
