From start to finish, how much time elapses in your current WIP?

I'm only halfway through the draft so not all sure, but probably about 3 days in the end, depending on how many times I let the characters stop and rest for the night.

In the current era, getting a publishing email about "AIs" gives me a jumpscare every time. (AIs in this context meaning Advance Information sheets, that publishers use as crib sheets to sell new books)
