We put pen to paper and who knows what comes out? Sometimes the text takes over. That's why you can't afford to be too anal about structure." <br />"I like books where things turn out neatly," says Anna stubbornly. "There's one of the Harry Potter books, the one with the time turner, where everything just works out so cleverly, it gave me real pleasure to read it."<br />Jeremy chokes on his wine.
