As a writer and as a human being my favourite question is, what if? What if the lorry changed course and crashed into a building? What if it snowed in August? What if I could fly/was invisible/always knew the answer in exams? What if is my go-to starting point for a new piece of writing, be it a short story, poem or novel.
Life in your world was born out of one of those “What ifs?” Once I began to write the characters began to develop, go places and do things I hadn’t planned, often asking their own what if questions. Now my what if is about to be published.
What’s your favourite what if?
