One Million Project issue 1 | страница 18

Why did you decide to participate in the One Million Project? I was the one who thought it up! Lol. What do you do for living? I make some money as an agency supply teacher and I am also able to afford the odd carvery with friends from my book sales. What are your favourite things to do when you aren’t writing? Strange as it might sound - Research, but then again to me, gathering information and knowledge isn’t a dry academic thing, it’s a storehouse of ideas and inspiration for my writing. I can read (a lot! I always have 3-4 books on the go) and watch movies and they will spark off an idea and so everything is research to me in a way. I also enjoy seeing new sights and experiencing new things, in the company of friends. Do you have any plans to continue writing in future? Maybe I’ll stop when the glaucoma or senility gets me - hopefully I will be pushing 90-100 before I even think of slowing down. To me a life without writing and creating is like one without food and water. 14 Copyright © 2016 by OMP Magazine Publishing
