So I still use a pen and paper – a red one at that – well, sometimes. I like the feel of the biro on paper.

I like the look of it, the messiness of it. Sometimes I write in alternate colours – not at the same time, but on different days. All right I know it will have to be typed up eventually but until then it just feels more manageable this way – more temporary and less ‘cast in stone’. The pages are more mobile, paragraphs can be re-written. I’ve even been known to use sellotape and scissors. Apologies to computer buffs. I know. It’s positively prehistoric. But I like it.
