My todder just worked out how to unlock the gate on the kitchen. All the sugar in the western world was in reach.

The world of Harry Potter, definitely! I'd beg to be allowed into Hogwarts as a mature student and then just never leave.

I stop writing. I have tried pushing through in the past, but in my experience this just leads to strained writing and weak plot lines which always need deleting. So if I am having one of those days, I go out. I focus on my son, or see a friend, go to the gym, have some me time. I just relax and wait for the next blast of inspiration to hit me. Quality work is always worth waiting for.

Watching people envelop themselves in the world that I have created. Hearing people sat that they truly felt the characters emotions, that they loved the story and need to know more. It feels so good knowing that for a few moments in time, the characters I created feel as real to my readers as they do to me.

I find inspiration mainly through getting out and about, watching people. Sometimes I just go and jump on a random London bus for a while. It is amazing what you see when you are really looking. When something interesting catches my eye, I start playing part of a storyline in my head, like a film. As it plays, I quickly write it down to be looked at later.

I have lived in and around London for most of my twenties and have seen a lot of colourful characters. Like many people, I like to people watch and imagine the stories behind the faces. A few strong characters really stuck in my mind, so over time I developed them and built the story around them.
