Way too long.

When my kids were little, I wrote in the evenings for an hour or two. It was a great escape and it kept me sane... Rough day of child rearing and someone in the story bit it, lol.

All in all, ten years. (And then someone goes and gives you a bad review because you shot a dog in your book. Go figure. :)

These days you can publish short stories if you want. No need to write a whole book, so you should give it a try. Find a good editor or critique buddy and make yourself write. (Murder as many people as you like, But don't kill any dogs ;)
