So 18 months - 72 months is your target to finish it.

Ie: 1,5 to 6 years.

Add 3 to 12 months for publishment & distribution.

Are you all planned out by chapter, or are you letting it flow. Do you know how it ends yet?

Four double-spaced pages of A4 in Times Roman 12 pt is 1000 words. Most novels are about 90,000... so if you do four pages a day for 90 days, you could have it done in three months!

I have all the chapters and four future books planned out. I’m building a world here Calderon!

Children’s books are around 75,000 words so that’s what I’m aiming for. I have 4,500 so far but I know where it’s going.

I’m writing a book about the advantages and disadvantages of being both an author and a scammer.

Spoiler:

It’s called Prose and Cons
