Can you write a novel in 3 months?
Three months is actually what Stephen King recommends as a solid span of time to write a novel in his craft book On Writing, and I agree that it’s a short enough time to keep you constantly focused on your book while also long enough to let you only write a little bit with each passing day.
Can I write a book in one month?
It’s definitely possible. In fact, if you’ve ever heard of the wildly popular National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short), you know that countless writers have gone on to create epic (and published) novels in the span of 30 days.
How long does it take to write a good novel?
Few novels take less than two years, and if there is an “average” length for writing a novel, it is somewhere between two and four years. It takes time to plan, research and write a book, and a good part of those two to four years will be spent first thinking and imagining, and later revising, revising, revising.
How long did it take you to write your first novel?
The time it takes to write a novel varies by author. An average of 6 to 9 months for the first novel is a good estimate for a first time novel. Some are written in a month, some take years. Every writer is different. The key is not to be harsh on yourself about the time it takes.
How long does your novel should be?
Length varies depending on the age of the audience you’re writing for and your genre. A standard adult or young adult novel should be less than 100,000 words. This is a hard stop for traditional publishing.
