Information

• Are your reading habits ...?
  Omnivorous

  What are your working habits when you write?
  Procastinatory
  
  Are you the edit-every-sentence-ten-times type, or do you prefer to let rip?
  Prefer to let rip and edit afterwards
  
  Your ultimate writing ambition?
  Just to have one book published. A three-book deal, followed by fame, fortune and all the toy boys I can manage would be an added bonus - but not essential.
  Your worst habit?
  Discipline. And time management. Fitting in writing with full time job often results in writing at stupid o'clock in the morning. Subsequently when I re-read my work, it's utter tripe!
  Your opinion on the books industry?
  I deeply respect the good folk of publishing
  
  Where do you write?
  In the loft. Nobody else can be bothered to climb up so I'm often left in peace.
  What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
  I work in advertising (Lord, forgive me). I have 2 teenage children (Lord, again), I like to travel, eat good food and drink fine wine but the above prohibit any of those. Live in London. Big love is music.
