750 Pages?

I've projected forward for the next year and a half to see how many weeks it would actually take to finish the Grant Morrison column I've started, assuming I spend a fair amount of time on each major project and assuming he only does about five more things in the upcoming year (that's probably about right--plus or minus a couple).


It would end up being about 75 columns. The ones I've completed so far have averaged about 10 pages each (3,000 words or so), which would make the entire project amount to approximately 750 pages. That's crazy, right? I can't possibly have that much to say about these comic books. Actually, I do. But who has time to write this stuff? What's the over/under on the day I quit this column? Think I can make it until the end?
