I'm been working on writing a novel--however, I'm still in the planning stage and so far just that has taken about two years...

World building is an ongoing process. Even once you start writing the actual story you'll add to and edit your world. I find it's the hardest part of the writing process. I think that's one reason people like to write books for a series or historical fiction. You don't have to invent the underlying world. But the best written books are always the ones with a rich and fully realized background.
Good luck to you, and don't be discouraged if it takes a while.

You're doing fine. It's not unusual to take years to write a good novel. I've had stories published, but my novel has been in the works for about ten or twelve years. So ... not to worry! ;-)

It doesn't matter how long it takes. It whether you are happy with it or not. Many books take several years.

perhaps you have writers block - you will do it when you are ready - time lines vary - take 20 ,meditations daily and say nothing matters at this moment - eventually you will learn to clear your ,iond as second nature and write away
