I’ve been trying to explain how I write – without formalising a plot (I think this makes me what is called a Pantser) – to writers who are more used to devising their plot before they start (Plotters). So here goes.
My children never ask questions like “Have you got an agent yet?” If I say I am a writer they accept that because they are too young to have forgotten that I’m a super hero.
Why storytelling rings my bell, plus Bristol Short Story Prize 2010 Shortlisting and high degrees of chuff.
