The short story I've wrote 2,5 years ago (as part of the anthology attempt here at MobileRead) has just short of 8000 words (+/- 7850), and it's exactly 13 A4 pages long. That comes down to +/- 600 words on a page.
(That is even more than I thought, because on the internet I often found 400 words per A4 page as an average.)
This would come down to having to write about 3 A4 pages, or 6 pages in a paperback, each day, for 30 days. Writing the short story took me 4 days, about 2000 words a day on average, and that was a lot of effort to be honest. I actually kept a changelog of the story length:
Day 1: 1667 words (written 1667)
Day 2: 3356 words (written 1689)
Day 3: 4189 words (written 833)
Day 4: 7864 words (written 3675, in 5 sessions)
This story was written over the weekend; the last day was actually a Monday, so I think I've had a day off back then, or I would never have been able to write over 3600 words in a day.
