How long is the way between writer's mind and hand? Best regards: A. Tomov – junior

I think it depends Alexandar?
For me personally, the idea can come quickly, but getting it from my head and into a novel can be a long process. Getting the first draft finished is usually only the halfway point. The real time consuming and difficult part is the redrafts and editing to get it right?
I'm aiming for about 4/5 months from idea to published on my forthcoming novels, but if it takes longer than that, I'm going to try and not lose any sleep over it.
