Nobody else in my family writes, but in the latter part of the 19th century my antecedents published newspapers and were authors. Blood will out, as they say.
I've always written - poetry and short stories as a child; then later on in life as our kids grew older I began writing novels, probably to counteract the stultifying boredom of being a legal executive. Later still, when I discovered I loved recruitment, my 12-hour working days were made even longer by a sudden drive to write and write and write, usually between 8 p.m. and midnight. I was doing two things I really loved, and the hours involved became irrelevant.
And now I'm retired and still I write! Somehow I just can't stop.view less
