Pride, prejudice and enduring popularity
Hard to believe it's almost a year since I posted here. On the other hand, it feels so long I'd almost forgotten how to do it. I'm mostly on my other website – which you can find via this link (ANNE GOODWIN'S WRITING NEWS) – but this, a version of my latest newsletter, seems more appropriate for Annecdotal.

Exactly six months on from publication, I’m one happy author, delighted readers have warmed to this novel and particularly to Matty, the quirky main character. Readers smile at her alternative logic while raging at the injustice she has suffered. I’m

| This got off to a great start but it's very difficult to fit a real life person's history into a narrative arc. I enjoyed the insight into Daphne du Maurier and the connection with JM Barrie was interesting but, apart from one poignant chapter imagin ...more | |

“I write to tame and organise the thoughts that bubble in my head. I write for the part of me that’s inconsolable and don’t have the hands or the talent for painting, pottery or the piano. I write because it’s proven more effective than screaming to communicate my personal truths. I write because publication provides the perfect payback for a painful childhood and because I’m addicted to alliteration, a glutton for grammar and ruled by the rule of three. I continue writing to discover where my imagination will take me; because if I stopped, I’d no longer be me.”

“What I long for with a deep ache inside me is sacred music. I long for the Fauré Requiem, for the Haydn “Mass in Time of War,” for some pure celestial music that could lift me above myself, into that sphere where great art lives, beyond what man can be in himself, the intimation of the sacred—what cannot be dirtied or smudged by wickedness or by anger, which no threat can touch.”

“Old age is really a disguise that no one but the old themselves see through. I feel exactly as I always did, as young inside as when I was twenty-one, but the outward shell conceals the real me—sometimes even from itself—and betrays that person deep down inside, under wrinkles and liver spots and all the horrors of decay. I sometimes think that I feel things more intensely than I used to, not less. But I am so afraid of appearing ridiculous. People expect serenity of the old. That is the stereotype, the mask we are expected to put on. But”

“My anger, because I am old, is considered a sign of madness or senility. Is this not cruel? Are we to be deprived even of righteous anger? Is even irritability to be treated as a “symptom”? There”
