Reasons I write that sound like cryptic crossword clues:
- Masochistic tendency enjoys courting constant rejection
- Too much un-used ink in the world
- Large and not entirely stable ego
Two rubbish sentiments often spouted by writers:
- I don’t read much fiction anymore. I’m too busy
Favourite book
I know sensible people steer clear of breaking things down into numbered lists such as the above and having favourite things. I don’t think I’ve got a particular favourite anything else, but I do have a favourite book and I think it’s unlikely to be toppled from its pedestal any time soon. The book is Riddley Walker, by Russell Hoban. It’s not for everyone. For a start it’s written in a broken down and re-constructed version of English and is set in post-apocalypse

Yes, 'tis a great book.
And where are you keeping this apparently enormous ego? I haven't seen it anywhere.
"Forgive me, anyone who believes this is clinically insane."
Well, I think most writers of fiction do suffer from something akin to Multiple Personality Disorder. And I know for a fact that many hear voices in their heads...
It's well hidden, beneath the veneer of self-pity.
