Editing the book is going to take a long time, I think. I’m about half way through chapter one at the moment – on only the first edit – and already been at it two weeks. There are 33 chapters in all, so you can work out for yourself how long it would take to complete at that rate.
And then, of course, you’d start on the second edit.
I looked at the stats for chapter one and it’s taken 943 minutes so far. That’s editing and writing. Or, in other words, 15 hours 43 minutes. It sounds like a lot until you realise that it’s actually less than two working days. The trouble is, when your working days are taken up actually working, you don’t have that much time for writing and editing.
