What is your earliest childhood memory? When it snowed and was sooo incredibly cold the pipes had frozen, so we had to use snow and ice boiled up to give me a bath.
What makes you happy?
My friends and family, music, food, weather that matches my mood, when I’m busy- I hate having nothing to do.
When did you decide to become a writer?
Too little to remember. Young.
What are you reading at the moment?
I’m reading The Reader, I refuse to watch the film until I’ve read the book, but last night I was already in bed and I couldn’t find it so I began Revolutionary Road…so today will be the make or break of which book I choose to pursue first.
What advice will you give to a first time writer?
Look after your back when you write, invest in good writing equipment, as cute as it sounds to sit hunched up, your spine curled up like a snails shell, it’s stupid and you will be sorry….and you will spend all your money on massages.
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
All Saints. I listen to them nearly every day.
How do you relax?
Sleeping. I love going to bed with a cup of tea, reading two and 1/2 lines of a book and then conking out. It’s wonderful.
What is your favourite book?
Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky – by Patrick Hamilton. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking and it takes you somewhere else…also Georges Marvellous Medicine.
What is the most important thing life has taught you?
I don’t know, i haven’t lived it yet…so far, a little bit of kindness goes a long way.
Laura Dockrill’s novel ‘Ugly Shy Girl’, is out now …
