aarifa asked Lian Tanner:

Do you like to write a lot?

Lian Tanner I guess it's like anything else - sometimes I love writing and sometimes it drives me crazy. :) - the first draft of a book can be pretty exciting because I'm discovering things about the characters and the story as I go, and sometimes things go off in weird and interesting directions. And I like the third draft too, because that's when things begin to fall into place and it starts to look more like a proper book. But corrections and edits get a bit boring.

I realised recently that I no longer write just for fun, like I used to. I guess that's inevitable when I'm doing it for a living, but it's a pity - which is why I've recently started a blog for my cat, Harry. There are no deadlines, no plot, and I have no idea where it's going. It's just a chance for me to play. You can read Harry's blog at http://vampiremice.wordpress.com.
