But seriously, yes I do listen to kids talking in the street but I suppose more importantly I rely on memories of my own three children and their friends, or of other teenagers in my friends' families. And if I'm worried about getting the voice wrong then I ask one of them what they would say or which word they'd use. I also finds it helps watching TV soaps - listening to them gets my ear in too.(less)

For some reason ideas float up from my subconscious that often move the story on or give me a conversation between two characters, so that by the time I get home I can inch the plot or the character forwards.(less)

“Those days were easy in comparison with”
Fanny Blake, The Secrets Women Keep

“outline of the large green caterpillar with her finger, waiting for them to pick up. Eventually the answerphone kicked in. Adam’s voice invited her to leave a message. The fact that they must be deliberately not answering the phone made her uncomfortable.”
