HelloRobert, tell us a little about yourself.
Hi. I’m from
Howare you inspired to write your stories?
I think the location of a story is veryimportant. Where does the story happen? I usually think of the location firstand then imagine the characters. So the idea of this story started with the
house next door and then the people insidethe house.
What’sthe most important part of a story?
The beginning. A story is like a film. I lovegoing to the cinema. When you watch a film you usually know immediately if youlike it or not. It’s the same with a book. The reader must like the storyimmediately. Do you know the end of the story when you start writing?
Sometimes. But you often don’t know the enduntil you start writing the story.
Thehero of the story, Eoin, has a blog. Do you have an Internet blog?
No, I don’t. But I have a diary and I tryto write something every day. It’s a good way to make notes for stories.
Finally,do you know anyone in
