Kate Lord Brown - One Thing I've Learnt

ONE THING I’VE LEARNT is the truth in Ionesco’s statement that: 'A writer never has a vacation. For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.' If you haven’t played around with http://www.wordle.net/ and made a word cloud of your blog or website, it’s an interesting way to see the topics and themes that you are thinking, and writing about. Why not try making a cloud yourself and see if any words or themes strike a chord with you? The titles of my books jump out to me: Beauty Chorus, Perfume Garden. But also: heart, life, family. I’ve always liked Stephen King’s advice that art is a support system for life – not the other way around. For me, they go hand in hand. That’s what I’ve learnt in the fifteen years I’ve been writing seriously – writing is not a hobby, or a job, it’s a way of life.
