I Think A Lot Of What Goes

We All Have An Ongoing Narrative Inside Our Heads, The Narrative That Is Spoken Aloud If A Friend Asks A Question. That Narrative Feels Deeply Natural To Me. We Also Hang On To Scraps Of Dialogue. Our Memories Don’t Usually Serve Us Up Whole Scenes Complete With Dialogue. So I Suppose I’m Saying That I Like To Work From What A Character Is Likely To Remember, From A More Interior Place.

Often, The Idea That There Can Be A Wide Range Of Translations Of One Text Doesn't Occur To People - Or That A Translation Could Be Bad, Very Bad, And Unfaithful To The Original.

I Would Recommend, Definitely, Developing A 'day Job' That You Like - Don't Expect To Make Money Writing!

I Don't Feel I Have To Struggle Against Allegory. I Let The Readers Do The Interpreting.
