One of my best ideas for a novel was dreamed up in 1997. Think the school soap opera Grange Hill crossed with the allegorical TV series The Prisoner. It's about a boy who doesn't fit in with his school peers. He's an individual, a thinker. In a confrontation with some bullies he is rendered unconscious and wakes in a version of reality where school life is all there is. It's called The Blueprint and I finally wrote it up earlier this year. I think, had I wrote it in my twenties, it might not have had the same level of depth.
