it's pretty much impossible for me to be funny for more than five thousand words
I would extend that to apply to almost everybody. It takes extreme talent to maintain the humor, and sometimes I question even the abilities of pro writers and comedians to do this.
I realize that while I feel it takes forever, though, writing ten thousand words in a couple of weeks isn't actually that bad.
It isn't? Because I tend to get frustrated after just a few days. Fortunately, though, I don't try to write chronologically most of the time, but I do have to ignore my stories every so often just so I can look at them again with a fresh mind.
