Ms. Rachel, over at The Inkpen Authoress, was kind enough to think of me and ask me a series of questions, a sort of interview-a-la-bloggue. There's nothing like a quiet little chat over tea, and this time I did most of the talking - which was perhaps a little over-stimulating for my dialoguical brain, but terribly fun nevertheless. I hope to return the favor and have her muse a little on my space here. She has a knack for asking questions, I'll say; I was quite tickled by the mental fare she gave!
Here's a smidge of the interview:
What do you look for first as the mark of a good writer?
We could get into a lot of boring discussion on what makes a good this or that, but I have one initial step, a sort of litmus test, that I often find myself taking. That is, to turn to the back cover and read the brief biography of the author. If they're British and deceased, that's generally a good sign.
Thank you once again to Rachel! Take a look at her blog here (or above, for those observant ones), with the interview specifically here.
And so, having laboured all Labour Day, I shall tuck myself to bed and leave all airy, weighty matters for another day. "After all," said Scarlett, "after all - "
But that would be cliche.
