Rhys Bowen
Why do I write? If I didn’t I’d have to clean the house and play bridge, both of which I hate. But seriously I write because I have to write. I have always written and can’t imagine not doing it. I told myself stories as a small child. I wrote movie scripts for myself when I planned to be a movie star as a teenager. And I have been a professional writer since I left college. I have more ideas than I will ever complete in my lifetime. When I finish a book I always plan to not write for a while but after a week I can’t wait to start a new project. I suppose I like visiting other places, other times, living vicariously through my characters.
When I am writing I am lost in that world to the extent that if it is summer in California but snowing in New York in my book, I complain of being cold.
