Why do you write?
I wish I knew. Living life in only one dimension, without having another world or set of characters to visit, doesn’t seem enough. I’m always happier when I’m writing, and not so easy to live with when I’m not.
Are you a vivid dreamer?
Very! I have dreams from time to time that are strange literalisations of metaphorical terms; and, sometimes, ones that create metaphors for other people’s relationships or relationship problems (these can be quite prescient!).
