I really love writing, but I am very easily distracted: my two cats fighting, a rainbow, a TV show... I have to use every trick to keep myself at the computer.

I write very slowly.

When I try to concentrate, I really enjoy writing.

When things are going well, I can't write fast enough to keep up with my mind. Writing walks, speech runs and talk flies. Other times, though, it's like fishing.

Even when I am writing I usually take a break around lunchtime and go for a little walk to clear out my head.

My writing process, such as it is, consists of a lot of noodling, procrastinating, dawdling, and avoiding.

Writing is a very lonely occupation. To write you need to concentrate, to concentrate you need to lock yourself away. No distractions; you want your stream of thought uninterrupted.

I have no writing habit. I work when I feel like it, and I work when I have to - mostly the latter.

When I was younger, I just put off the writing until later in the day, but now I write early every morning to get it done. I can only write for a few hours at a time; after that, my attention fades.
