I Hope I Am Not Too Repetitive.

I Am Really Chained To My Computer These Days So I Work In My Bedroom, Which Is A Room I Have Worked In For Years And Years. It Is Just As Much An Office As A Bedroom, And During The Day, My Bed Is Rather Like An Extension Of My Desk.

I Was Able To Work Out All Sorts Of Attitudes To Style And Event And Character, All Of Which Affected The Way I Came To Think About My Own Writing. I Believe That All Good Writers Are Original.

I Had To Wait For A Long Time Before I Could Support Myself With Writing. However, Being A Writer Is What I Have Most Wanted To Be, From The Time I Was A Child.

If A Job's Worth Doing, It's Worth Doing Twice.

Being A Librarian Certainly Helped Me With My Writing Because It Made Me Even More Of A Reader, And I Was Always An Enthusiastic Reader. Writing And Reading Seem To Me To Be Different Aspects Of A Single Imaginative Act.
