Here we go then. Now that that one has been cleared up, I will set my question.
Once again, apologies for keeping you all waiting.
Righto. Eyes down, lug'oles open.....
We all know that Theo has had some books published, but my question is this...
How long did it take him to write his first book.
The answer is on this forum somewhere....Theo..if you get this wrong I will laugh
MMMmmmmmmmmmmm....let me think now. It's such a long time since I first sat down with a pencil. Maybe I should check my old diaries. Off to the attic

Been up there a long time - could someone put the ladder back please!

He is obviously struggling to find the answer on google
Found my old programmes and Mrs H's children's school books. No diaries though.
So, assuming Maestro means just writing the story and not editing/revising, I'll hazard a guess at 9 months...
Can you be a bit more precise please Theo?
I'll try. The first draft took 9 months. Editing and rewriting probably added three months to that. After agents and publishers had seen it, often liked it, but decided it wasn't commercial enough to take to a mainstream publisher, I decided to rewrite it (cutting out some of the background detail and making the plot less complicated). This took another 6 months. You are now probably thinking, as my dear old Dad used to say "that's as clear as mud".

That's close enough Theo. Your turn
Knew I should have asked who won the Northwood Infants Egg and Spoon race in 1896
At least it took you all of 17 minutes to get it right, BB. My 17 minutes of fame are over

16 of those were spent watching the cricket....
In complete contrast to current day transfer activity, which player did Watford sign from Peebles Rovers?
