The number one question most new authors have perched on the tip of their tongue when they start their writing journey is “how long does it take to write a book?”
It’s a valid question! Having a realistic estimate of how long it will take you to write your manuscript will help you stay on track with your progress and give you a goal to work towards.
In this video, I’m sharing my secret formula to calculate a reasonable estimation of your book’s completion date and how long it will really take you to write your manuscript!
But be careful not to set a hard and fast deadline for yourself. The truth is, everyone writes at their own pace so writing your book will take as long as it takes!
And with God right alongside us, we can’t ever really get off track.
