Why my interest in writers? Well, I`m one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it`s like to write. I`m interested in the creative process. I`m fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside...
Which, of course, isn`t the point of writing - but it would be nice if, along with the creative satisfaction of writing and seeing my work in print, I could do more than merely scrape a living. Okay, moaning over.
Well, to be honest I think I`m a better short story writer than a novelist. Novels I find very hard, hours and hours, weeks and weeks, of conscious thought - whereas short stories slip out painlessly in a few days.
