Myself

These are some of the things I’ve learned about myself since I started writing novels:

• A stable mood is vital to the production of my best work
• Taking my medication and getting eight hours of sleep a night makes it a lot easier to stay stable
• I don’t like to wash up, and consistently shirk it
• Bananas are an excellent source of energy if you can’t be bothered to cook and have to eat something
• I feel better when I exercise
• I am not very hip
• I love the company of other people, but can’t take too much of it
