How Long does it Take to Write a Book

=============================================================

Well if it was an average novel it would come in and somewhere between 60,000 and 80,000 words. That is probably the easy determination, some authors turn out 5/6 books a year, some take 5 years to write one novel - like a runner how far can you write in one day.

Scenario A - suppose you're a new wunderkid mad to get at it and you slave away all the time, the story is bursting in your head and you cannot get it out quick enough. This should be good for somewhere between 1,500 and 2,500 words a day. So in somewhere to 4 to 8 weeks you will have your masterpiece on the table, ready for editing, proofing and all that.

Scenario B - you have money and can support yourself, your output is not fantastic but you can churn out 500 to 1,000 words a day, definitely 4,000 to 6,000 a week. Three months should see it on the table.

Scenario C - like many you have to work for some idiot in a dead end job to pay your rent and eat cheap while you work on your book. the best stuff always comes at 11.55 pm when you get up at 4am. You should be able to turn out a minimum of 3,000 a week so in 6 months you'll be done.
