Writing Has Become My Great

It Was My Father Who Taught Me To Value Myself.

I Have Had The Unfortunate Experience Of Having Someone Write An Unauthorised Biography Of Me. Half Of It Is Lies And The Other Half Is Badly Written. My Feeling Is That If I'm Going To Write My Life Story, I Ought To Have My Life First.

My Daughter Couldn't Care Less About Me Being Famous. She Finds It Revolting And, Like A Lot Of Teenagers, Is Virtually Allergic To Me. That Started At 12 And Hasn't Gone Anywhere Yet.

I've Never Disliked Myself, And My Weight Has Had Nothing To Do With My Self-esteem.

I Have Turned Away From The Thought Of Writing Fiction In The Past Through What I Suppose Is, Actually, Fear. The Direct, Raw Invitation For The Reader To Come In And Explore My Imagination Is Fairly Scary For Me So I Have Busied Myself With So Much Else.
