Lucy Carter asked Sylvia Clare:

Who/what incentivised you to start writing?

Sylvia Clare Hi Lucy thanks for asking, I don't know really I just sort of knew I would be when i was at school but when I said this I got so laughed at that I stopped thinking about it. Then in my late thirties I took a creative writing course and in spite of renewed ridicule and put downs from those around me I didn't stop this time. I had a strongly psychic dream which told me I would be published and to keep at it and three years later I got my first publishing contract. Those around me who had ridiculed me never bought my books and are no longer in my life. So my writing came out of an intuitive sense and it seems to flow when I write certain types of pieces and books but not others. Hope that makes sense to you. I have also seen several different astrologers who did my chart and they all said quite independently of each other that my books would eventually become very influential - which horrifies me as I am not that good with public exposure though I cannot seem to stop writing my stuff. How about you ?
