Jason Howell asked Malcolm Noble:

Hello Malcolm. This a question I'm asking of several writers, some friends, some strangers... Think back over your past few years as a writer. Pinpoint your best work. What were the life-conditions surrounding your best work? Were you busy or unencumbered? What mindsets and motivations were on-hand? Whatever you can think of. Thanks.

Malcolm Noble Hi Jason. My first book was written while I was laid up, on doctor's ordeers in a hotel room on holiday, but I guess some of best work has grown out of ideas that have been in my head for some time but I've never got round to working on for a few years. All of my 'creative stuff' is done out of doors. I don't know why.
