Not too long ago I was asked how long it took me to write my first book. Looking back on my the first blog post and the novel word document about Feet or Fins it shows the date to be Oct 2013 and I subsequently published the story in May/June. That is about 19 months. Which I think is pretty good seeing as though some people takes years or even decades to complete a book. Though that time doesn’t include what I spent on the first draft. But I think that when I finally got into thw swing of writing I completeded it in a few months. I expect my next book to be quicker becuase I have more of an idea of what I am doing and it isn’t as long. Plus it is a Young Adult novel, which to me, feels like an easier genre to complete.
