Most of my writing is done at weekends. I also try to write on weekday evenings.
The first rough draft of my novel took two years six months. I have been editing ever since. I still have much work to do.

No idea if there's an average, bur I know first novels always take a lot longer - if only because you have the luxury of time, whereas second, third, etc, can have deadlines and expectations.
