What a load of winging nonsense that article was. I've go no sympathy at all for a full-time writer (of just 9 novels!) at 60 who now has to give up his LONDON-BASED rented office and work from a BUILDER-CONVERTED attic room instead.

Perhaps if he had invested his money more wisely than wasting it on office space, he wouldn't now have money worries.

And just what does he think he could do if he wasn't being a full time writer? At 60 with no significant office skills, I think he'd find it very hard to find any other job at the moment!
