Nayab asked Joanne Harris:

When did you realize that you wanted to express your creativity and knowledge through writing? Was it encouraged by others? What creative expressions (e.g. art, dance, media, music) have you tried in the past, present or future to express your creativity through?

Joanne Harris I started to write when I learnt to read. I never thought of it as expressing anything; I just wanted to write. I've also enjoyed creating art and writing music, especially in terms of exploring narrative, but writing was always the main thing. As for encouragement, I don't think anyone ever really encouraged my writing until my husband bought me my first computer. I came from a place where people didn't really do things like that...
