No, I'm not very productive at all. I'm probably like an animal. I mean, great animals in the ocean feed all the time.

None of my books has been ever in my head; after they're finished, they go. It's like being a sort of medium; you just grab it when it's there then just release it when it's time to go. There's a lot of instinct, not planning. Peter Ackroyd
