Ooh, that story sounds devestating – in a good way. Great line as well. The struggle to balance passion and survival is really prevalent these days (thanks capitalism!). Best of luck with it.

Sounds quite gritty, but also fascinating – I get what you mean about handing over control of your work. Do you share it anywhere though?

If you write, and especially if you write seriously, you’re a writer! It’s the only part of the process we have any real control over. If it’s not too forward – where do you think the reluctance to submit comes from?

I’d love to know more about the kind of stories you do!
