I hover between

two versions i.e.

I didn`t thought it will take me so long to put all the emotions on the "paper".

I haven`t thought it will take me so long to put all the emotions on the "paper".

Personaly I think the second one is correct. Is it?

thank you

The second one seems fine to me, and the first one will be okay if you write: I didn't think it would take me so long to put all the emotions on the paper.

Hi,

I haven`t thought it will take me so long to put all the emotions on the "paper".

The tenses don't work here. I don't understand what you mean, so it's hard to suggest a correction.

Hi again,

I haven`t thought it will take me so long to put all the emotions on the "paper".

As noted already, you can say
