how long does it usually take to write a novel.?

Question

i am writing a fairy tale and i am going on and on and its pretty long and interesting and i was wondering when should i stop to make it a series kind of thing like another book going on from this one.

Answer 1

It is true that it depends on who you are as a writer for how long it takes. About the series: a novel is like a mountain range. It should have rising and falling slopes. There should be one main and large peak, known as the climax. (Usually portrayed as the FINAL BATTLE muahahahaaaa...*ahem*) When this is resolved, tie up loose ends and TA DA. That should be the end of the first adventure! So if you have alot of BIG climaxes all about the same size with differend bad guys (or girls) then break it down into different novels! Good Luck!

Answer 2

Writers are all different. Some people can write a novel in a few weeks, others take years. If you're going on and on, then you probably haven't plotted your story, so it doesn't have a character arc with a beginning, middle, and end. Series books each have their own plot with these three parts.
Good luck!

Answer 3

How long is a thought? It relies upon on how lots you may desire to assert, how lots description you pick. a competent tale could learn in 3 sentences. yet a competent novel could tell that tale over 1000's of pages. you are the author so it somewhat is as much as you the way deep you pick to paint your tale. yet maximum obligatory are the re-writes - that's what takes the actual time. 7% concept; ninety 3% perspiration ;)

Answer 4

It depends on how inspired you are and how fast you type. It could take anywhere from a couple of months to 10 years.

Answer 5

There is no "lenght of time," not everyone writes at the same pace or speed.
