Well, I'm blown away. But if you ever worked on a letter with me, it would
have been in the main body of it, rather than being relegated to a PS.
Synchronicity strikes again. I don't often go to a computer, but had a reason to return to Goodreads on this occasion, which seems to be not long after your message. I couldn't let this pass without mentioning I had often wondered what became of E, and am
hoping it's mainly good.

I write about an idea that excites me. If I were to write about anything
just because I could, without caring about it, that would be like a broken pencil - pointless.

When I get writer's block the main thing is to not do my block, to
leave it for awhile, even take a walk around the block, anything to
allow the subconscious mind to dwell on it.

Don't use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice. And if at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

I was swimming while interstate on holiday. An idea came to me, followed
by more thoughts on how it could develop into a book. When I returned home I had enough projects to leave that idea alone. and it seemed a little
too difficult anyway.
Four years later, while swimming at the same spot on holiday again, the idea re-surfaced. It seemed more insistent this time, so I took it more seriously and went ahead and did it.
