How Long Did It Take to Write the Novel?

The first draft took about a year and it was a very chaotic year because it was the year of lockdown. I've met lots of people who kind of slightly resemble Terrence not to the extent of doing what he did but you know there's something that happens to people when they are given money and power  I feel like primrose and peter may need a break from like I've been hovering over them for three years trying to work things out i think it's time they maybe do walk off into the sunset fk says.
