I came to literature late in life, I regret to say. I was a film, documentaries person before that (still am), but reading is very much a part of my life. So is hunting in charity shops and second hand bookshops for that little gem tucked away in a dusty corner. I prefer pencil, pen, paper and my Smith & Corona "Seventy One" typewriter. I use a laptop only for the final drafts. Not that I have plenty of those. But I am working on it.Interact
