Depends on how much fun you're having, and that's not being flippant, it's true. The more fun, the less you think, the less mistakes you make. If you approach it like traditional writing, you'll be too hesitant and worried and make more mistakes. For example the stuff above, and the rest I'll post soonish, took basically 4x15min blind writing sessions, and then an hour or so for correcting flow, spelling mistakes and the like. So around 2-3 hours for a 3000+ word story, and having fun all the way
What blind writing does is force you 'not to care'. At some point whatever you write will have to be edited, but that doesn't have to be your 1st draft. You write it quickly, blind, and then see what you have afterwards on the edit. I picked up the technique from my poetry professor when I was doing my Masters, he also put me on to word-association, both invaluable.
