You know when you were in school and you had a test in class and you made an impenetrable wall of pencil cases and stationary across the table and then draped yourself over the desk like the dying heroine in a Shakespearean tragedy so that no one around you would be able to copy your answers? Well, that’s how I write.
(And if you didn’t build the wall of pencil cases, chances are someone was copying off you. Constant vigilance!)
I hate people being able to see what I’m writing. If someone comes into the room when I’m sat in front of my computer I open a game of spider solitaire and I don’t close it until they’ve gone. If I want to scribble an idea in a notebook I do it as quickly as possible in my most illegible handwriting so that no one around me has a chance to decipher what it says.
