From 7 in the morning to 11 at night I was reading. I don't think one can find any other time in one's life to be left alone so much to read in peace like that.
Life is a very orderly thing but in fiction there is a huge liberation and freedom. I can do what I like. There's nothing that says I can't write a page of full stops. There is no 'should' involved although you wouldn't know that from literary reviews and critics.
