I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel.

I'm 78, I'm on my pension in Ireland, and all that good stuff.

That's such a thrill - a story I wrote at the beginning of my career, and it's still packin' the house.

I do outlines when I'm writing with someone, but they also need to have a certain amount of freedom.

Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to.

I think the Internet, particularly the availability of information, is great. I do a lot of correspondence on-line and have a chat line to talk to my fans as well.

I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.

I have written my own screen version of Pern, but had no buyers yet.

Mostly I'm telling people that they don't have to be victims.

I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale.
