But Sometimes You Have To

My Real Name Is Madeleine Wickham, Under Which I Write Dramas With An Edge Of Humour. As Sophie Kinsella Its Fast, All-out Comedies, Such As The Shopaholic Series.

Just Because Of That One Disastrous Blind Date She Had Last Year, Where The Guy Turned Out To Be Fifty-nine, Not Thirty-nine (he Claimed It Was A Typo. Yeah, I’m Sure His Finger Just Happened To Slip Two Spaces To The Left).

If My Writing Comes To A Halt, I Head To The Shops: I Find Them Very Inspirational. And If I Get Into Real Trouble With My Plot, I Go Out For A Pizza With My Husband.

I Can Do This, I Tell Myself Firmly. I Can Be Attracted To Him. It's Just A Matter Of Self Control And Possibly Also Getting Very Drunk. So I Lift My Glass And Take Several Huge Gulps. I Can Feel The Bubbles Surging Into My Head, Singing Happily "i'm Going To Be A Millionaire's Wife! I'm Going To Be A Millionaire's Wife!" And When I Look Back At Tarquin, He Already Looks A Bit More Attractive. Alcohol Is Obviously Going To Be The Key To Our Marital Status.
