There's an old saying in the writing world that you need to write a million words of crap before you can really start to move forward. The truth isn't quite so hard and fast, but the point is that you do need to pound out a whole ton of words ad the go over and over them to get it right.
My first novel took 15 years to write and edit.
My current one will be done in the next week at just under three months.
