#WritersCoffeeClub 5/29: What's the average time to complete a writing project between the idea and publishing it?
I'm trad published: production cycle takes 12 months, in lockstep with hundreds of other authors.
Time to write a novel … I started next year's "A Conventional Boy" started in 2009 and finished it in 2023, which is a new record for me. But 2015's "The Annihilation Score" squirted out in just 18 days (then a couple of weeks for fettling and polishing)!
But I average one a year.
