The drive to write...
I wonder if having been an only child with lots of time on my hands has had anything to do with my compulsion to write my thoughts down...
I recently found a whole pile of nonsense poems I wrote to amuse the sprogs when they were little- with no intention of ever trying to have them published.
I also found a similar bundle of (Cringe cringe) school essays my late mother had kept...
Certainly the fact that I write quickly has more to do with the stories racing through my head than an editor waiting for them. I have loads of stuff I write in between commissioned works simply because I have to write them down.
I was the same with the piano when I was at the Royal College, Wendy!! Remember, 8 hours a day every day...
But today, I took a day off!!
Love to all, and happy reading and writing!!
