"The idea was that tiredness should provide a kind of chemical cosh: but while I could relax, I still couldn't sleep. I still couldn't think of a way to stop writing fantasies in which people hit one another on the head with swords. I felt as if I still needed to have an argument with that subject matter, a dialogue with that way of writing, that job description."
