Crystal Esquivel asked Susan Elizabeth Phillips:

Ok i got about three questions so here's the first one: About how long would it take a writer to finish writing a novel? O_o Did this ever happened to you where you have this amazing story plot or story scene in mind,but doesn't match with the rest? Lastly, did you ever gotten an amazing plot story or ideas from your dreams? :-/?

Susan Elizabeth Phillips Writers finish a book when they finish a book. Some authors can write a short book in a few weeks. (No, I don’t understand that, either.) Others take months, years, decades. It takes me about 22 months. If you’re interested in writing, you might want to check out the “Writing Tips” on my website. Good luck!
