Why is writing important to you and why do you think it's an important medium for the world?
Writing is one important way I engage with the world, with my own thoughts and with the the ideas of others.

What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer's block?
I don’t mean to be glib, but I don’t remember having writers block but perhaps because if I can’t see my way clear on what I’m writing at the moment, I start writing something else. My best advice is to  write, write anything, just get the words flowing.
