How long does it take to write a paper of 3000~5000 words?

A day to brew a topic. Choose a topic, decide what kind of topic is good, have your own unique opinions, and write unconventional.

Two days to consider the structure. When the topic is determined, we should consider how to discuss it from several aspects and how to put forward, analyze and solve the problem.

Three days to consult the literature. Consult the content related to your topic, compare your outline, learn good ideas and record good content.

Four days to draft the manuscript. According to the proposed outline, make a draft part by part, write it again, and then write it down with your mobile phone to save the draft.

Five days to revise and polish. After the draft is completed, it is revised repeatedly. Add or subtract content, choose words carefully, and don't add another word.

These five steps can be divided into 150 minutes, 15 hours, 15 days, 15 months and 15 years according to the author's level and the quality of the paper. If you wrote an elegant paper in 15, then you must be a successful person and you can be called a writer.
