"It's a dead give away of an inexperienced writer if every character speaks with the same voice."

Character

"My fictitious characters will take the bit between their teeth and gallop off and do something that I hadn't counted on. However, I always insist on dragging them back to the straight and narrow."

Will

"I stopped this one about two months before federation and I want the next one to be more political. It will deal with the formation of white Australian policy and things like that."

Policy

"In early draft it never satisfied me, and that was when it clicked into place and it went so well as a diary."

Writing

"My husband says it is very good that I have very tiny feet, because they're easier to get in my mouth."

Humor

Thought

Writing

"There is no doubt that it is more difficult to read and more difficult to write but I still manage."
