Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to.
From Anne McCaffrey
Mostly I'm telling people that they don't have to be victims.
Make no judgements where you have no compassion.
What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.
The thing is, emotion - if it's visibly felt by the writer - will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it.
That's what writing is all about, after all, making others see what you have put down on the page and believing that it does, or could, exist and you want to go there.
That's such a thrill - a story I wrote at the beginning of my career, and it's still packin' the house.
People have freaked out when I tell them that my dragons are scientifically based... what else can you call a genetically engineered life form?
I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.
I'm 78, I'm on my pension in Ireland, and all that good stuff.
