“Sometimes when I get up after writing, I'm surprised at how my body feels. Suddenly I'm not a lanky, hungry young boy any more. It's no fun putting on ten years and fifty pounds all of a sudden.

“My life is routine-obsessed. I'm OCD, and if I'm not at home, I always get up early and exercise. I don't crash and burn at night, not these days, so early-ish to bed. At home, I have three small boys who bring me down to earth with school runs and endless meals.” IfsHomeRunningSchoolEarthLife IsNightThreeBoysExerciseBedEndlessGet UpThese DaysObsessedMealsRoutineCrashDown To EarthUp EarlyOcdBring Me Down Author:Gary Kemp
