I've had success getting full first drafts out in eight to ten weeks, and I once heard an extremely well published and recognized novelist say that he gets a short version of first draft out in about six weeks and then revises it over a couple years. I will often revise for longer than that. Anyway, Brooke Berman may have the help you need to get past the first-draft jitters and shakes.
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
