Do you know what?
It was my publishers who said, do you fancy writing some short stories?
No, that was it.
They just went, you know, because I've really stupidly never written a book that I've then, I've never set up a whole series, you know, 72.
I have to think of an entire new world and entire new characters and situations.
They are all of a sensibility, yeah, definitely.
But I just, they said short stories.
I thought, actually, that's quite a good idea because, you know, reading to my 10-year-old a lot, it is fun to pick up a story.
And I don't read those Philip Pullman stories at the moment.
It is nice to pick up a story and read them where you complete the whole story in a sort of 20-minute thing.
So some of them are, yeah, four pages.
Some of them are a bit longer.
And I wanted to link them as well.
So it's about a girl, Sarah, who finds a cat on the street.
She doesn't know who it belongs to, so she knocks on every door to try and find where the cat lives.
So sometimes you see her interacting with the people inside the house.
Sometimes you just hear the knock or the ring on the doorbell and you never actually get to her, but you know it's her.
Even as I'm thinking about this...
It's really weird writing for children because every time you write something, you think, am I encouraging them to do something they shouldn't do?
Yes, constantly.
