The thing about books, for me is that no character is seen in the same way by any two people. I think this is why Harry Potter was spoiled for me by the films ... as when I was younger I wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter due to the fact that my mum believed that J.K.Rowling was indeed a real life witch. This of course isn't true and so when I grew up I watched the movies, and Lately I've been reading the books and the characters in my head are Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and so on ... not the people described on the pages and no matter how hard I try I can't change that image. The other thing about books, is that you can create and entire world with people who in your mind are real and living their own life's, out of some ink and a bit of really really thin wood. Personally I think that the ability to do that is actual magic, it's physically impossible unless it's pen on paper.
Writing this book I have learnt many things both about myself and my writing abilities. The problem I've been facing recently is actually finding a time where I can both concentrate for a long period of time and the inspiration I need to put things into paper and in some cases a laptop. My first problem is that I can't write when someone else is in the room ... meaning the only time I feel like I can write when my boyfriend isn't around which narrows time down a lot ! The other thing is, that when I am alone for a long amount of time I just don't feel like writing it's impossible. But on those rare occasions where I do feel like writing and no one is around that is my favorite part of life in general I feel so free. I'm not sure if other writers feel like this, but I do most of the time. Thanks for reading...
