![]() ![]() How do you survive being alone in your work so much of the time? That's the best place to write if I'm doing something that doesn't need any research. I've got a summerhouse at the bottom of the garden which is solar powered and I can write down there. I write because the urge comes on me and that is all I can say! I am not under any pressure from anybody. Now I feel full up again and ready to go. So then I concentrated on short stories and music while I waited for the waters in the lake to fill up again. I wrote four books in four years and then I felt emptied out. When I first started, I had a great logjam waiting to be released. It's something I always knew I was going to do. In the way that some people just know they are going to be a doctor, or a priest or a farmer. ![]() I think it must come from wanting to be like my father. What made you want to write when you were starting out? I did have a succession of amazing English teachers who were in love with language and literature and they passed that on to me. My mother also has a wonderful style of writing, although mainly it is in letters. My father writes poetry and he wrote one poem for each of us children. Was there someone that got you interested in writing? ![]()
