I think I was inspired to write by a)growing up with two languages and therefore thinking about words a lot and loving them, and b)as you were, by reading widely, both contemporary and historical books. I wish I'd learned more in 'nature study' but I think I still know more about the natural world, at least about botany, than my son ever learned at school!Veronica Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248292370623296757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-33066430546477187162016-11-03T15:27:22.667+00:002016-11-03T15:27:22.667+00:00Great post.

I think you're right saying most people don't know what faith means & your books are really good about showing that in a practical, not preachy, way.spabbygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413026094512076371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-32737350150491549982016-11-03T15:00:08.697+00:002016-11-03T15:00:08.697+00:00Lovely post, Clare.

I think I was originally inspired to write, because of large class sizes and finding it easier to write (albeit very untidily) than to speak my thought out loud. I share an early introductio to the natural world with you and exposure to Bible stories. I never had any problem reconciling "religion and science". They are two complementary ways of looking at the world around us. <br />I think my inspiration to write now is partly not to bore the people around me. Readers can abandon me without any embarrassment! SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
