improvising a text/verse of a thousand words instantly
Also, (capable of) composing a lengthy text right on the spot or on the spur of the moment. It was a common practice among the Chinese literati to have such games of words or contests to test or demontrate one's talents.

A thousand words (or characters) here does not mean that the writing has to have that number literally, but a lengthy text for the time spent in creating it.
