TweetIt’s New Year’s Eve and will soon be 2013. 2013! How the fuck did that happen? Last thing I remember was getting drunk, eating cheese and complaining about the weather.

You’re a writer? So, what do you do all day?

TweetAsk my sister. Go on, ask her. She’ll tell you that a writer spends his days sitting in front of the telly eating crisps and bacon butties, getting drunk and, occasionally, wearing pants… She might be onto something.
