gwaunquest made a comment that she had wanted to write from the age of 8.I can identify with that, but my main problem was not having anything to write about.
While I am sure my writing does have something to do with my role-playing interests, I, like a lot of people, got into role-playing by accident, and if I analysed it, I could have so easily missed it completely.
Being creative has always been an obsession, its just knowing how and when to focus and discipline it. The great guitarist Steve Vai said that everyone has music in them, its just he has the discpline to practise and write it down on paper and record it.
School for me wasnt the breeding ground I expected it to be writing-wise, and even a year long exile in Spain didnt really produce anything worthwhile (erotic fiction and fan-fic doesnt really count).
I am putting my thoughts and ideas down as to how this book, Orchid, came into being, and hopefully it will surprise even me.
