Jane Davis asked Jane Davis:

When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? Why do you write?

Jane Davis I didn't begin to write until my mid-thirties. Then it was a response to the lack of creativity in my day-job, and yet the day-job has helped. Both imagination and logic are required for fiction. As for why,
fiction provides the unique opportunity to explore one or two points of view. It is never going to provide the whole answer, but it does force both writer and reader to walk in another person’s shoes. And, in many ways, it’s the exploration and not the answer that is important. The idea that there is a single truth is flawed. I have a sister who’s less than a year older than me our memories of the same events differ substantially. There are many different versions of the truth and many layers of memory.
