We worked on the phone who did what. I did a bit more than Neil of that anyway. But, it also felt to me to do an awful lot of the glue that no one wanted to do - because it was easy to do 'set piece scenes' and written on a kind of... on the kind of plot somewhere, you know: 'get A and B to F' and ' X and Y have got to see T'. And then, well, that really is about 3000 words where you have to move people around and then, you know, shove extra bits in. So I ended up probably probably doing near 75% of the book.

I would probably say because it’s... because had it we’ve done it any other way it would’ve been like three months longer to do. You can't really do it... you have to have long discussions and then someone has to go in there and write. It is very hard. It is harder to work with someone else than it is to work by yourself. And there are people that do it all the time and I find that quite astonishing.
