What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
Good question. For me – well, I don’t see me climbing Everest or sailing alone across the Atlantic. I have smaller goals. Some of that comes from the EB, but that’s only physical.
Actually what I always wanted to do was write something that someone would want to read. I’ve always written – ask the girls (see Strong Women) but I was much too shy or maybe less than confident that anyone would care to read what I saw.
But I got older and maybe I got better. What the heck, you know? I’ll still eventually turn 60 or 70 or 80 whether or not I do what I really want to do. So I should go for it.
What I write isn’t for everyone. Neither was Shakespeare’s work. Okay, no comparison, but we both started out with a first project. And someone read it and liked it.
Personally I love science fiction. I love the possibilities of it. That works with romance too, because there are so many possibilities there as well. Two people meeting, getting to know one another, finally connecting on a deeper level – that can happen anywhere and I can explore that.
So tell me, what are your secret fantasies that you never thought to really try? Come on, admit them and maybe, like me, you can make them really happen . . .
I would go into outer space. I’d really love to step on another planet but a moon will do.
Wouldn’t that be cool! I’d love that.
I’d like to take on a year (or more) assignment in the English Cotwolds or French countryside.
As long as you keep writing over there, Nancy!
