I consider the thought process as part of writing. I figure that I'm writing things in my mind before I hit the notepad, so it should count. So, with that being said - I can think of something for 2-3 weeks before opening a notepad and turning on my laptop. When it comes to writing the first draft - I think it would take around a month. So in all, I'd say 1-2 months for the first draft. Then, for re-writes, anywhere from a week to 2 weeks per draft. |
