book writing creative
Because I'm such a creative person, and I've always got my nose in a book, I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I'd be doing the things I'm doing today.
believe writing personality
I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can’t be like any other author’s really.
dream writing night
It was relatively easy to write 'The Cave of Lost Souls', though, because it came to me one night in a dream. I remember waking up and having this idea for a complete story - from start to finish - in my head, so I jotted it down, then later began writing the thing.
love writing thinking
I love a good laugh as well, I think that's so important in life, which is probably why I've dabbled in comedy writing as well as horror. I think if you can make someone laugh or smile it's the most special thing in the world.
lonely writing computer
Writing can be a very solitary business. It's you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives.
notebook writing black
Sometimes I'll hear a phrase or a word and write it down in my little black notebook (a writer's best mate), then come back to it and work a plot around it.
competition entered fiction given happened instead nowhere wonder
I sometimes wonder what would've happened if I'd entered the competition instead - I'd probably have come nowhere and given up on the whole fiction game.
actress appeal audience damn good obvious popular star
I know it's popular to say this because she's the woman of the moment, but Halle Berry. Not only does she have obvious audience appeal and star quality, but she's a damn good actress too.
authors people positive seem struck tap
I've had a lot of very positive feedback about those stories, and seem to have struck upon something that most people feel. I can also tap dance, and don't know many other authors who can.
comic coming constantly english maybe strange work
For English assignments I was constantly coming up with these strange adventure stories... But I actually wanted to be an artist, or maybe work in the comic book industry.
antidote count family great incredibly loved lucky man
My family and loved ones are also a great antidote to this. They're incredibly important to me and I count myself a lucky man because of them.
bad family imagine
We just feel so bad for Lindsay's family. We just can't imagine what they are going through.

conditions good great venue water
The venue is great for spectatorship. The water conditions are as good as I've ever seen. It's beautiful. That's why I come out here.
