Simenon wrote quickly, but not quite *that* quickly. On
average, it took him six to eight weeks to write a novel.
Locked inside his study, pausing only for meals brought to
his door, writing steadily, with minimal breaks for sleep. He
once said, if it took any longer than that to complete a
manuscript, he simply scrapped the project.
