Which is funny, given how unfunny – in fact, downright agonising – it has been trying to write this story. This isn’t really anything new – it seems to be how I compose, really. But the unfunniness has really been brought out by this particular project.

Dolly Parton’s version of “I Will Always Love You” is my mournful soundtrack.

Morphing makes for good writing.

I don’t do that often. A water-skiing accident, if you must know.

"I like Ike" is prob the most memorable rhyming political campaign slogan. I'm having problems finding good words that rhyme with "Tony".

After I tweeted this, a fair few people gave me useful suggestions about what rhymes with Tony. ‘Phony’ was quite popular. I reckon the best of the lot was ‘baloney’ (thanks, kirsty_l). I also appreciated ‘macaroni’ (and various other pasta names) (thanks, Kill Your Darlings). Someone who will remain nameless (and perhaps shameless) was watching porn at the time she was tweeting, and her rhyme suggestion was quite unnecessary although very memorable.
