You are going to read a magazine article about a person who has a dream job. ‘I started writing children’s stories about 20 years ago,’ says Dick Prince, one of Britain’s most popular children’s writers. ‘Before that, I had always loved words and enjoyed using them, but my writing had mainly been verse. Then I had this idea for a story. I had been a farmer, and knew the problem of chickens being killed by a fox. So I wrote a kind of role reversal story called The Fox Busters, which became my first published children’s story.’ Where do his ideas come from? ‘Well, it’s not easy, I have to work at them,’ he says. ‘That is what I usually do in the mornings. I’m not up with the dawn, I’m afraid. After lunch, I spend another couple of hours typing out the morning’s scribbling – all of which I do with one finger on an old portable typewriter rather than on one of those awful laptops. I get between 50 and a hundred letters a week and that is the part about being a writer that I enjoy the most. I do try to answer them all, but nowadays I have some secretarial help.’ You have to choose the questions that are appropriate for a given person. You may have to choose more than one question.
