I wouldn't really count brainstorming and research time because, while it's definitely part of writing time, it's so extremely variable depending on the needs of the fic that it's just hard to put an average to. (And also past a certain point, Wikipedia spiraling about cement because you wanted to look up cobblestones doesn't really count as progress towards the fic)

It's impossible to count pure writing time because often the "brainstorming" happens in the middle of a sentence. If you type three words, and then think five minutes about how to continue that sentence and then go back and delete the three first words, that's very much part of the writing process.

"How long did it take you to type this" is not the question being asked.
