I don't write fiction professionally so maybe I'm not qualified to say, but one year doesn't sound long at all to me. During NaNoWriMo I wrote a novella. Even the little bit of reworking I did on that just to make it readable for my brother—the only person who reads all my hot garbage—seemed really difficult and tedious. So I say you're making good time. Not that there is a such thing, because there is no rushing art. :)
