I think I spent so many years daydreaming about writing that my head is just bursting with ideas. I work full time, so I only write in my spare time, and by the time I sit down at my laptop I have usually been storing up my thoughts for a while so it I write, pretty much as fast as I can type. Although obviously that means lots of editing to get it perfect later.(less)

I never really enjoy watching TV so writing and reading is my main hobby. Being a writer means you are never bored. You always have a project you are working on, which means any time you spend, even in normally frustrating situations like waiting for delayed plane, means you are normally miles away in your head, working on a plot.(less)
