Thanks Suzy - & I hope you're managing (somehow) to do it! x
Thank you both for these lovely responses. I agree that much of the joy comes from the struggle - and also, David, that 'happiness deriving from ego is shortlived' feels very true.
thanks all, I am glad this gives a bit of inspiration - and maybe a push in the right direction
Such interesting advice Jane - you must have had fun doing all these interviews!
thanks. I remember one writer talking about writing as being like pressing an injured limb until you find the fracture point...the pain is when you know you're onto something!
thanks for interviewing me Jane, I really enjoyed your questions!
thanks Angela - It is so good to hear, and I am thrilled that it got you reading again. That's the joy of book clubs. I'd love to know what your summer list contains!
Music to my ears! I am so excited to be coming to talk about this, and launch the book club at Hay .
