It Changes You For Ever, But You

I Don't Think I Prefer Writing For One Age Group Above Another. I Am Just As Pleased With A Story Which I Feel Works Well For Very Small Children As I Do With A Story For Young Adults.

My Theory Is That I Decided To Be A Writer When I Was About Seven, But Of Course It Is Not As Simple As That. Like Most Writers, I Had To Work At Other Things To Earn A Living And Wrote Mainly In The Evenings, Often Very Late At Night, For Many Years.

Time Was Too Much A Part Of Love, For Even In Fairytales The Proof Of Love Was Not Its First Moment, But Its Latest Ones - That People Lived Happily Ever After. Love At First Sight Was Nothing But Infatuation Until Proved By Time.

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.

By The Time Ordinary Life Asserted Itself Once More, I Would Feel I Had Already Lived For A While In Some Other Lifetime, That I Had Even Taken Over Someone Else's Life.
