Damien has to wear pedal pushes and put his feet in a bowl of cold water. This is indicative of the strange things that writers often do, he says. I work in a green chair because it's my lucky colour. And I'm very particular about where I write - I can't write in cafes or on trains. Raina Maria Wilker's Letters to a Young Poet reminds me of the importance of working from the self outwards.
Bestselling author Diana Evans (‘26a’, ‘The Wonder’) is the perfect guest for this podcast. She tells Katy how objects are an integral part of her writing process and brings some along including a mini London telephone box and her trusty sketchbook. Diana also chats about her new award-winning novel ‘Ordinary People’ which was one of the New Yorker’s books of the year. #PenguinPodcast #InspirationalObjects
