Simple question really. How fast do you edit? Do you have seperate speeds for line editing, style editing and plot editing? Do you do all three at once?
I write at about 1000 words per hour, or roughly 3 pages. I edit at about 2 pages an hour......I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong

Uh, I don't know if that's your process sequence, line editing, style editing, then plot editing, but it's illustrative of a potentially less productive critical path process than my experiences with struggling writers who make the cognitive leap to productive writing and my own writing has shown me works out for best outcomes.
My time on task depends on what kind of rewriting, revision, edits I'm doing. Large scale approaches, substantial drafting and rewriting for content and organization, craft particulars, and it's recursive, several passes, maybe dozens, and out of sequence. What's missing, what's out of order, what's extra, what then needs adjustment and readjustment.
I come back to expression time and time again until I have a firm voice(s) well in hand.
Double-checking facts, checking logic (causation -- cause and effect credibility), checking tension (empathy and suspense), checking antagonism (purpose and problem), this pass is a lighter craft pass or two. Then back again to voice, maybe revisit craft a time or two again.
Once it's all well in hand then and only then do I focus on mechanical style, last and final passes, grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting, yada, yada, yada. Which I rip through at a screaming pace.
All told, of late now I've got a productive process I'm comfortable with, it comes out to about one hour raw draft writing per thousand words, two hours rewriting, five hours revising, ten minutes editing, a few minutes longer than eight hours per thousand words. It seems to me though the time on task will decline as I build a tighter critical path process.
Spread the love of written word.
