The answer was quite a long time. https://www.asakkalon.com/how_long_to_write_a_book/ #AmWriting #AmEditing #WritingCommunity https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/111/181/406/039/383/104/original/708b0dff5de38d4f.jpg
@41b437fa I'm one of those pantsers who do not plan their books in detail. Yes, I have some landmarks I need to hit (and there are more the deeper I get into a series!), but I need the discovery of writing while I go to finish a book. Mine are also fairly short (50-70k), so if (big IF!) I manage to write at NaNo speed, I can get one written in 4-6 weeks, putting in an hour or so a day. I do not rewrite. I do edit them myself. And I self-publish. That's how I do it. Not easy. But doable.
