I'm about 5 ft 7 inches, with naturally red hair and gray/green eyes, pale skin and freckles. A long time ago I taught high school math, but then I took a leave of absence to see if I could write. Two years later I still didn't know. But I did know that I did not want to go back to teaching math; I wanted to keep writing. Four years later I had my first book published (not the long one I foolishly started with; it never was published). Since then I've had ten novels published in more than a dozen languages. In 2003 I had a car accident, and haven't been able to write novels since. But I've thought a lot about writing and what I wanted to do with it one day, and right now I want to try to help other writers not to make the mistakes I did. Without my husband, I wouldn't be able to create this blog. He's a brilliant pianist too, and sometimes on flute I'll riff along with his more jazzy piano.That's sort of how I see this blog developing, with me riffing along in words to your melody, or vice versa. Come as often as you like, and we'll have some fun!

Know what's cool, Welwyn? Your daughter is a video game designer, and my brother who lives in London is a video game programmer. We seem to have much in common!
That's amazing, Quenby! But you know, it really isn't. They say, (the ubiquitous "they") that there are only six degrees of separation between any two people in the world. That is, I know this person, who knows that person, and so on, until eventually the 5th person out from me knows someone I know. This can't be coincidence, can it?
True enough. I've experienced this phenomenon rather often, and it always amazes me how connected we are, even when we think we're isolated. Donne said it best, "no man is an island." Everyone is interconnected, and we share more than we are sometimes able to perceive or admit.
Sometimes I feel like an island, though. It's usually when I'm at a party, and can't quite summon up the energy to be "Party Welwyn". "Party Welwyn" is definitely "out there", fun to be with, full of sparkly repartee, you know... "Island Welwyn" wants just to stand sipping wine and feeling warm and comfy not having to talk to anyone and not having anyone feeling they have to talk to me. I think "Island Welwyn" is a wannabe sponge with chameleon Gucci clothes. Gotta hide to hear it all, see it all, absorb it all. Let's face it, it's all so beautifully... er, well, useable to a writer. But if nobody saw me, how could I get my glass of wine?
You, m'dear, are a very funny woman. I honestly laughed out loud when I read this because it's just so apt. I think we may have to find a middle ground, where we're visible enough to get our glass of wine, but invisible enough to not be approached for idle conversation.
Island Quenby makes an appearance more often at parties since I'm a people-watcher. I watch behaviours, gestures, and actions in an attempt to psychologically profile people just for fun. More entertaining still is imagining lives, scenarios, and scandals for the people I observe or overhear.
