It's like that for any art form.

The fact that you're actually doing major rewrites is good. A lot of people starting out writing only want to do grammar edits and minor line by line stuff after writing a long-ish first draft. Just remember to not overwrite your save files for the first, you may have some things you want to go back to after the second draft. Just save it as a second document. I learned the hard way.

But it's a novella; it wasn't made to take so much time. I started to write it in december of 2015 and planned to finish now, in beginning of 2016, writing everyday. The first draft is good, some friends read and said that have pieces good and pieces bad, but I feel that something is missing, something with the characters and the theme in the plot.

It's about a guy that takes a candy and it changes the way that he perceives reality, realizing that he is a mere character of a fiction. Because of it he goes to a parallel world where he encounters his author, and ask him to rewrite his story to change the mistakes of his life. But the more he changes it the more strange reality and fiction becomes, and weird things start to appear in his world.

So I just have to accept that will cost me more time than I thought?

How can it "cost" time if it's fun?

Welp, if while writing my prose is good, I'm having fun, if bad, I'm not.

That sounds more like a novel idea than a novella idea to me. How long is it, presently?

>>7577455
The first draft has about 20,000 words; I plan to cut more in this second draft. If all make all right, the novella will be very small and fast.
