As a psychologist and seeker, I cannot tell you how much your writing has meant to me. I just started “Riding the Dragon”, and can only read a page at a time, there is just so much to digest! I can’t wait to get to your other books!? Question mark added so that I could post!
Roselle Angwin What a lovely comment, Margaret. Thank you so much. I wrote that book 25 years ago, so I'd write it differently now, no doubt, but I still stand behind it.

I'm working on another couple of books similar in theme/s to that - myth and the inner journey - but also quite different.

Watch this space!

Warm wishes

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Roselle Angwin Working for oneself! And working with the imagination on a daily basis.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Roselle Angwin Take your passion seriously. Set yourself reasonable goals – like writing for a minimum of 10 minutes a day every day – rather than 10,000 words by the end of the week. When you succeed at the former, you'll feel good and want to exceed 10 minutes; when you fail at the latter you'll just feel bad.

If you're not actually passionate about writing, take up something else – astronomy, geology, dogwalking, hygge all seem to be reasonable substitutes to me.

What are you currently working on?
Roselle Angwin I'm currently working on (7th draft!) a narrative non-fiction book about an enchanted forest, tree lore, legends of the 'lost feminine' – oh and loss.

What I'm NOT working on is a novel I began years ago, with a very introverted protagonist. I like the book but haven't yet resolved what his central issue is in terms of plot suspense.

How do you get inspired to write?
Roselle Angwin My problem is not how to get inspired - so much inspires me! - Others' words, the natural world, a whole queue of ideas always. My issue is being disciplined enough as to follow just one trail.
