I write on request. I pay my characters huge sums of money and get a plot from somewhere in a deserted field somewhere north of Dawlish. Add together with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
If I write for my own ends, I tend to write short stories, chronicling scenes from my life. I feel that I can write about what's happening with characters resembling myself and the people around me. By doing this, I can get an outsider's view on my life and see what's happening.
However, many of these short stories don't exist anymore as I don't keep them. I try not to look to the past so I feel I have no need of them.
And sometimes it just doesn't work...
