You could say the prose was born out of a moment of despair.

Do I dream of seeing my book in print? Of course I do.

This process has taught me to be confident in standing up and shouting: I’m a writer and I have a story you should read.

Who really wants to read about 'likeable' characters anyway...

Mind-bending plot twists and milk bottles.

What kind of writer do you want to be?

Pictures, passion and feeling like an alien.

'Falling in love with reading so passionately when I was little laid the foundations for me becoming a writer today.'

I was ready:. I had my mug rinsed out waiting by the coffee machine and my laptop fully charged.

We could have shared 100, but we only have so much time.
