" in two weeks time "

I �d just say:
I wrote this article in 2 weeks. I managed to write this article in 2 weeks. It only took me two weeks to finish writing this article. I finished writing this article in no time at all: it only took me 2 weeks.
Let �s wait for our native speakers.

It sounds a little awkward (Mariethe has some good options), but it is correct.

Douglas - is it correct if it wouldn �t be said? I would go for �I finished writing my article in two weeks �. Or any of Marieth� �s suggestions. |

I feel that "in two weeks � time" refers solely to the future.
