 I think my book, Nicola and Dine, did inspire a lot of young writers, at least so they told me, to write about their own lives and their own work lives. One of the things I tried to really make clear in that book is that there's a lot to say about the day-to-day, hour-by-hour interactions in the workplace and about how tired you were at the end of the day when you have yet another job to go to.
