For any of you struggling with writer's block or feeling a little less than creative, just know that it's perfectly normal and part of the excruciatingly painful and rewarding process.

For A Fish Called Wanda the ideas came slowly. I did 13 drafts altogether: 8 minor drafts and 5 major drafts. I would do a draft which was about trying to get character right, then another draft which was about trying to make the plot make perfectly good sense.

I remember going to a strange war-games shop and buying little characters, so that, for some of the farce sequences, I would draw the set and move the characters around see who exactly was in what room at what moment.

I loved the writing process. Yes, a bit like solving a crossword, but much more fun because sometimes I would make myself laugh. #afishcalledwanda
