How long does it take Roald Dahl to write a book?How long usually did it take him?

Mr. Roald Dahl, author of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and other children's books, is a man who writes on a schedule. He sits down at ten a.m. every day and writes exactly until 12:00 p.m. He makes sure that he writes everyday and does not get up even if he has writers block.

Dahl does not have a set standard of time for him to write a book as each book is different. However, all stories begin with an idea. He then jots it down and returns to think about it later. Once he has decided someone would enjoy it, he begins to work on his book. Several of his books took him 7 to 8 months to write.
