It's probably fair to say I'm about 3/4ths finished with my design doc for the adventure. This isn't the first draft of the adventure as it will be presented, but all the ingredients that will go into it (who, what, where, etc.) are there so that I can work out all the logic of the fiction, and ensure I'm providing enough interesting and intersecting things the players can interact with.
The early stages of any creative project, be it visual art, writing, designing, or music are usually the things that take me the longest to complete, by far. It's pretty rare for me to have something even eighty percent formed from the jump. Most of the creative people I know, or have worked with, are idea machines –– it's usually the refinement and assembly of those idea that takes significant effort. Hell, the polish phase usually goes faster than any other part of the process, but that won't be for a while yet.
Once I'm done with the design doc, I'd say that I can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel.
