I am....

• a writer, when I can cope with the associations that that word brings to mind
• someone who writes, when I can't cope with those associations
• someone who doesn't write at all, much of the time

I am also ...

• a gardener, growing old and rare varieties of veg
• an assassin, specialising in the disposal of slugs
• a reader, avid, but not of newspapers
• a runner, if it's not too hot or cold and no one asks me to go very fast
• a slave, to studying, computer games, chocolate and TV
• a worry, to too many people, too much of the time
• a nobody....
