Everyone does not have a novel inside them* (Tim Clare)
"There is an auld axiom beloved of burnt-out English teachers, glamour-impoverished fantasists and a million other drudges seeking to transcend their lives of quiet desperation: everyone has a novel inside them."
Is that "beloved" with two syllables or three, sire? Tim Clare sounds like he has a novel inside inside him, right enough. How it got there is another kind of mystery.
*Note the Grauniad's classic caption "Think the wrold [sic] should hear your story?"
