Because for whatever reason, I'm just not very good at reading books that have a plot, for example.
I get really stressed out in a way, because I know I've got to be following something and I'm probably not doing it right.
I had this huge sense of pressure when I read a book that's got like a plot and things going on.
I'm like, oh, okay.
And it's the same with TV.
And I have to keep asking someone, is that because or why?
And they're like, it hasn't been revealed yet.
And I'm like, okay, okay.
You know what I mean?
I just find it all a bit stressful.
And then when there's loads of characters, I'm like, I don't know who this is now.
And I have to keep going back.
And I just can't hold it.
I find it really hard to hold.
So in that sense,
I think I am creating something that I probably would have loved to have come across.
But then at a certain point, I did come across books.
I'm not saying that my book is completely unique and there's not any books like it because there are.
But it was a long time until I discovered books that were not so driven by the usual things.
So yeah, to be honest, I suppose I am the reader that I write for.
