Don’t tell the story, show the story.
What advice do you wish someone had given you when you were younger?
Everything’s probably going to be fine, so it’s best to enjoy yourself.
Do you ever get writer’s block? What do you do to get back on track?
It feels like tempting fate, but I don’t really believe in writer’s block. I think if you can’t write, you’re doing the wrong thing. You may need to plan or jot down options or go for a walk.
What do you want readers to remember about your books?
I’d settle for a general feeling of having enjoyed them.
What would you do if you ever stopped writing?
I’d do a full stop. If this is for an American audience, I guess that would be a period.
What should people know about you?
I’m a very silly man.
What do you like best about yourself?
I’m a very silly man.
Do you have any strange or funny habits? Did you when you were a kid?
I talk to myself a lot, which is probably pretty common, but the difference is that I don’t listen to what I’m saying.
