Busy, busy and an interview with the Tolkien Library!

[inzilbeth]

At the moment I never seem to post about anything but being too busy. I have applied to reduce my hours at work but can't until they take on someone to cover those hours so there's no let up at present.

One thing I did  manage to do a couple of weeks ago is answer Pieter Collier's questions for an interview with the Tolkien Library. Talking about myself like this was a very strange experience and I'm still a little embarrassed by the whole thing but here it is.

Fan fic writers may be interested to note I do mention my own  'past' as a fan fiction writer. I confess I did debate about this - as you know, I'm not a fan of all genres of fan fiction -  but it has its place and I wanted to acknowledge the role it can have for more serious study.

Once again, please feel free to pass on the link to any groups that might be interested.

My sympathies - I know what you mean about the state of eternal business. I know that in reality it's a GOOD thing, but... Phew!!

Yes, I tell myself that being busy is far better than having nothing to do but a breather would be good now and then!
