It was about choosing a speck or a jot, and then writing the rest of the scene so that it made sense for that detail to be there. This tendency towards selective fixation provides me with teasing-space, although the cost is that I fluff social interactions and am chronically late.Īnyway, it was not really about the hooks. One reason I’m curious about trivialities is that I notice fewer of them than most people seem to, so whatever I do observe gains prominence in my mind. Quite possibly London bars do have table hooks and I’d just never spotted them. I was intrigued because it seemed sensible to give people somewhere to hang their bags, and yet I had not seen hooks like that in other cities like London. My first novel, Exciting Times, began with the hooks under a standing table at a rooftop bar in Hong Kong.
