Jonathan Coe, author of What a Carve Up! and The Rotters’ Club, is interviewed in The Guardian.

Do you have a daily routine when you are writing?
No, I’m very undisciplined. I stare at the computer until I get bored, which takes about five minutes. Then, if I’m feeling energetic, I’ll get up and make a cup of coffee, or, if I’m feeling lazy, I’ll start randomly messing around on the internet or playing card games on screen. I’ve just discovered Spider Solitaire and can sense a whole new world of distraction opening up for me.

I know that feeling! Let’s get back to the good, old days of fax machines, typewriters and sniffing the bottle of liquid paper. Oh yeah…..I work for an internet company, scratch that one.
