It usually takes me about three years to research and write one of my historical sagas; this is one reason why I take medieval mystery breaks, for they can be completed in only a year.
Usually, I would mistrust a book if it took that long to write. Usually, if it isn't done in two years, I suspect there's something wrong and throw it away.
A one-hundred-thousand-word novel might take a year or several years, and then you just come to 'The End' one day. But it takes hundreds of days to get to 'The End.' As a writer, you have to put in those hundreds of days.
Actually, the 14 novels were written over a period of just over 6 years.
Some people take 10 years to write a book and some can do one in under a year.
It took me nine months to write 60 pages. It was very frustrating.
It takes a long time to publish a book.
I did a complete rewrite of 650 pages in two weeks.
For all I know, I am beginning with the ending. My page one can wind up a year later as page two hundred, if it's still even around.
I took five years on the first volume, five years on the second volume, and ten years on the third volume.
