If you took all the words & characters written in human history...
-ancient scripts written on stone tablets
-words written on ancient scrolls
-all the sentences written in every book in the world (handwritten and typed)
-all the words written on the internet (on websites, on forums, on blogs)
-all the language and code used to program computers, machines, devices...
How long of a sentence would that make?
I've been trying to Google for a similar answer, but I haven't had much success.

Granted. But say in Times New Roman, size 12 font.

I don't know, but that'd be one long-ass sentence.

You have to divide it up.
In 2009 more data was generated by humans than every year preceding (all the way back to the start of human history).
In 2010 that number is even higher.
If every byte of data is counted as 1 character in your huge sentence (let's make your sentence into 1's and 0's), you'll be able to get an idea if you find out how much data was generated in the pre-internet era of human history and the post-internet era combined, and convert that quantity into bytes (easy since I'm sure I seen the answer out there in the form of exabytes).
Though that's kind of cheating since it counts everything as data, and also counts duplicates. No discrimination between anything in those calculations. To go much more precise would probably be impossible.

I have created over a billion characters due to a crapload of online activity let alone any one else.

There's this one scientific name for a molecule or something that's so long, it would take several days to say it.
Look up Titin.

It'd be more than infinity.

Impossible. You cannot even begin to comprehend the size of the Earth relative to the Sun let alone the concept of infinity.

I just wanna know how far it would extend in terms of Sun-Earth distances, if any.
