I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it's just not what I want to do.
I've often entertained paranoid suspicions about my fridge and what it's been doing to my poetry when I'm not looking, but I never even considered that my fan was thinking about me.
I think, for me, humour needs to be used like a strong spice - sparingly.
Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it's no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it's really just about the money, the perceived prestige.
I am certainly suffering from a modicum of performance anxiety.
I was writing notes, but not composing poems. The Hunter began to develop out of this fragmented process.
