• When: Usually at night. I often go to bed after my four year old goes to school!
  • Where: Anywhere quiet.
  • How: I jot down ideas wherever I can — my phone, my diary, a used envelope. I brainstorm my way through a rough structure in longhand, and write it on my laptop once the outline is clear. Oddly enough, I always write the first draft quickly, then agonise over making every word just right.
  • What: Bananas and peanuts. Yes, I take after Mambi! (Laughs)
