When I started writing full time I had not long stopped being a teacher and when at last I had a full day to write, I would put music on and wonder to myself - am I allowed to do this? Then I thought: 'I am control of this and no one is telling me what I can do.' ↗

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them. ↗
