At This Stage I Am Not Involved

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.

It Can Certainly Happen That Characters In More Sophisticated Stories Can "take Over" As They Develop And Change The Author's Original Ideas. Well, It Certainly Happens To Me At Times.

Writing For Young Children I Find I Often Use Particular Jokes With Words And Exaggerated, Funny Events, But Some Of These Haunt The More Complex Stories For Older Children Too.

I Hope I Am Not Too Repetitive. However, Coming To Terms With Death Is Part Of The General Human Situation.

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.
