I'm Actually Much More Shy And Self-conscious

After My First Novel, My Mother Said To Me, 'why Don't You Make Your Writing More Funny? You're So Funny In Person.' Because My First Novel Was Rather Dark. And I Don't Know, But Something About What She Said Was True. 'yes, Why Don't I?' Maybe I Was Afraid To Be Funny In The Writing. But Since Then, Seven Books Later, Almost Everything I've Done Has A Comedic Edge To It.

I Enjoy Both Tv Writing And Novel Writing, And They Are Very Similar. The Goal Is To Entertain And Amuse The Audience, And I Subscribe To This P.g. Wodehouse Piece Of Advice: "try To Give Pleasure With Every Sentence."

I Drink Coffee. Without Coffee, I Probably Couldnt Write.

I've Really Never Written About My Relationships, Or Things Like That. I Wouldn't Want To Divulge Things That Were Too Private.

I Don't Really Recognise Success. I Don't See Myself As On An Upwardly Mobile Trajectory. I See Myself As On The Edge Of A Cliff About To Fall Off.
