In a serious note, i'd say between 18 months to 5 years. Double speed between 9 months to 2,5 years.

At most i'd say 10.


To finish writing that is.

You're dead and never finished it but your notes are unearthed and you become the modern Shakespeare.

I dont think Greta will be best pleased when she finds out you intend to make your book from DEAD TREES thus depriving the world of the very living organism that will stop the Climate Emergency

It was bad enough when the felled that Bonsai to get enough wood pulp for Robs print run

The first draft took about a month but I stopped and started it.

Luckily, Rob's print run was very small indeed. :smug:

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.

It’s called Prose and Cons
