It isn't? Because I tend to get frustrated after just a few days.
*shrugs* Sometimes it feels like a gigantic slog, but then I turn around and realize I've written a lot relatively quickly. It really depends on how much I've already got in my head and the kind of story it is, though. Chaptered stories tend to be easier, because the writing is a less dense, less meaningful sort. I'm hitting plot points, and the sheer length will carry it through. Short fic that takes more than a week drives me absolutely mad (hello there, exchange fic!), because it feels like I'm picking over every single word I chose and everything has to be perfect and it's never going to get there.
