I think any 1st creating act takes longer because you don't know your way around things yet. And as far as Tolkien and Rowling they had other things going on as well. Tolkien was a professor of languages and Ms. Rowling had to deal with her (then) infant daughter. As I understand it she would push her daughter's stroller around and when the baby dozed she would sit in her bil's coffee house and write until the child woke again. Real life can slow a person down in new creative pursuits faster than anything.
