Reflections of a working writer and reader

The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties. Graham Greene

Five Questions: Nightlights

I’m going away for a few weeks, mainly in and around Scandinavia, and won’t have ready access to a computer. Under normal circumstances this blog would have gone dark for that time, but I have a state-of-the-art mobile which I can use for blogging, though only (with my limited knowledge of technology) in a rudimentary manner.

This will allow me to publish almost daily bulletins, consisting in the main part of the answers to five questions I have been asking of a selection of litbloggers. These will be interspersed from time to time with regular postings, but only when I have access to a computer keyboard.

The litbloggers involved in this project have had few restrictions placed upon them. Some have used only a few words to express their opinions on books and writers and the art of blogging, humour, etc. Others have waxed copiously.

They will be posted in no particular order, and the first one begins tomorrow.
