Alongside doing the character thumbnails of the new book, I’m now working on
the page layouts. I have the text in first-draft form but the moment I start to
place images alongside words, the text moves into a second draft; I see words
that can be removed and sentences that can be improved to fit in with what’s
going on visually around them.
I like this part
of getting started - thinking spatially in broad sweeps - and the hours start to go by quickly. I’ve always liked working
to Radio 3 rather than Radio 4 where the talking distracts me but I’m finding
these days there’s more and more chat creeping into Radio 3, with its ‘brain
teasers’ and invited guests. Strange to think, that in order to create words we need to be in a
space where there are no words.
