Keith Bullock
The best thing about being a writer is living in the heads of so many characters.
The novels and short stories that I have written have transported me to a multitude of places that previously, I knew nothing about - and so vicariously, I've tramped the streets of New York and in lived in the palace of a South American dictator, I've experienced Environmental Armageddon and survived in a dystopian future, I've been trapped underground and seen Earth from Space. I have committed perfect murders and occupied a variety of virtual realities, to mention but a few of my travels.
Creative writing demands the authenticity of adequate research and therefore brings with it, its own reward. In conducting such enquiries one is inevitably enriched.
My next trip is booked already - I am my eighteen year-old grandmother, pregnant, widowed, alone and standing outside a Birmingham work-house awaiting her fate.
