Hi All,
I have found recently that I know of more writers than I thought I did. There are friends of friends, family of friends. It just goes to show how secluded we writers can be at times. Most people may say that it is because writing is a lonely job. To some extent it may well be. I take my hat off to all those writers out there that write in groups or pairs, that is something that I don't think I could do. I don't actually find writing as lonely and I don't think many other writers do either. We have our characters to keep us company. I was once asked if I wanted to co-write a book. The plot was a futuristic theme and to be fair, even though science fiction is not the genre I choose to write in, it seemed like it was a pretty good idea. But the person that came up with the idea was first and foremost a musician and secondly he lives in Worcester and I am up here, near West Bromwich. I could not go traipsing over there all the time and he could not keep coming over here either. It just wouldn't have worked. I know what you are all thinking...'well, Missus, there is the internet.' I know that, but writing a book isn't something that you can do as a duo from email to email, it simply would not have worked. So I told him so and that was that. Though writers can get extremely frustrated at times, idea's don't always come the way the writer intends from the beginning; it is great isn't it? One of my writer friends came to visit me yesterday, and as I said to her, 'I could not give it up, not even if my life depended on it'.
