I think everybody has a secret life.
I'm not sure I believe in the whole 'ghost-afterlife' thing, but I think places are marked by people who have been there.
Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.
Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end.
Some areas of technology really don't interest me at all, but I welcome anything that makes life easier instead of harder.
Writing books and being paid for it - it's not like winning the Lottery. You can't suddenly go, 'Yippee!' and start throwing tenners in the air. I've done pretty well out of it, but certainly not enough to say, 'Right, that's me set up for life.'
When I write, I'm constantly putting myself in the position of someone else as I write using myriad voices; I think that's a life skill all people should learn.
