I Don't Think My Father Was A

I Vividly Remember Being 14. That Was The Age When I Started To Get Happy: I Started Being A Writer And Stopped Being A Loser.

There's A Dream World That We Visit Sometimes And That's How We Found Out Who We Are.

My Writing Has Always Been What You Call 'narrative Fiction' In The Sense That It's Got Very Strong Plots And Twists At The End.

I Hear It Still. As I Lay Down My Pen And Take To My Bed, I Am Aware Of The Bow Being Drawn Across The Bridge And The Music Rises Into The Night Sky. It Is Far Away And Barely Audible - But There It Is! A Pizzicato. Then A Tremelo. The Style Is Unmistakable. It Is Sherlock Holmes Who Is Playing. It Must Be. I Hope With All My Heart That He Is Playing For Me . . .

You're My Closest Friend And You're Thousands Of Miles Away.
