If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.
From Tanith Lee
I never know where I am going, though. That is part of what makes it so wonderful. And after all, who does?
I think of myself as a storyteller, and that is it.
Genre categories are irrelevant. I dislike them, but I do not have the casting vote.
As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm.
When I am fascinated by something, I like to play with it.
I like films, or some films, and would be intrigued to see my work on screen.
I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons.
It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.
I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it!
