Berit Ellingsen and I have interviewed each other about writing and our recent book releases. My interview with Berit is at Berit Ellingsen Interview, where she discusses her influences, why she self published The Empty City and her current writing projects.
'I hope that it will inspire the readers to listen to the silence in themselves, or that it is simply an enjoyable story. Reading is so subjective and the same story will look very different from reader to reader. I hope the readers will find something of value in the story, but what that consists of, is entirely up to the reader.'
Whilst Berit interviews me at her website, Berit Ellingsen, where I discuss Living Room Stories and my personal journey.
'Who am I? At times I feel I have a secure sense of self, centred on creativity, be it writing, art or photography, both to understand and express myself. At others it is as if a carpet has been pulled from under me by my self critic, fierce and unrelenting; it is in the unknown battles with my self critic I find myself falling. However due to these battles I believe I am moving to a state of curiosity and away fear in my way of being, which I am expressing via my writing.'
The final part to this interview exchange, where I respond to Berit's request for an image I would have used as the cover to The Empty City is at The Empty City Cover.
