The motivation to write fiction lies with Albert Einstein who said:
When a man stops learning, he starts dying
Each book is an adventure, a voyage of discovery, an emotional rollercoaster: the experiencing, for the first time, of ‘word block’ is something you never forget.
The prize is a book of perhaps eighty thousand words which entertains, creates comment and belongs to you. You pray it is an improvement on your last effort.
Perhaps the ‘Holy Grail’ for the author is the dream that your book might, one day, become a film. This allows the director and producer and the actors to take your words, as adapted by the script writer, and give vision to your ideas.
Every day as an author you learn more about life: dying can be put on hold.
