"I've been to a few Onsens in my time over many years in Japan but I can't remember whether this was one. I can say there are a lot of very spooky ones though, some in grotto-like caves, others very much like this."

Twiddling fingers
So there I was arguing with a friend about punctuation and dialogue and thought it would be a good idea to show an example.

What's happened?
I took ages crafting all this text about me and It's gone,
Now that's deep.
- What are you working on at the moment?
- final edit of Alistair: Connected and notes for second part of his story. I've knocked up a website http://www.softmachine.net that lays out Alistair's world, background to environment, key players, technology.

- If you had to recommend just one children's book you've read in the last year, what would it be?
- Philip Pullman
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- Only what drives the plot forward!
