"Are you at a point where you feel you could write a meaningful memoir?  Why?  Or why not?  If you were to do it, what cover copy would you give it?"

Could I write a meaningful memoir?  I don't know if I've done enough yet.  At does it have a theme, my life?  A unifying strand?  I have interesting things I've done I guess - I could tell a few good tales.  But probably not enough for a whole book.

BUT if I was to write a memoir, the cover copy would be this:

My life's aim has been to get on Desert Island Disks.  Well, get on Desert Island Disks, get a writing based Oscar (created specially for me), get a Novel Prize for Literature, marry 50 Cent, and become a Pussycat Doll.

Unfortunately the Pussycat Dolls have disbanded.

But I've still managed to do a few interesting things - been to Ethiopia and worked with street kids, been to The Jungle (in Calais), driven myself mad....

I don't recommend the last one.


Hmmm.  How does one finish cover copy?  And it probably shouldn't be in 1st person.  Oh well.  This'll do for now.
