To be a writer you h...Thank you Gillian and Patsy. <br />To be a writer you have to be like a sponge - absorbing ideas and impressions all the time. You also have to be, in my opinion, broad-minded and tolerant. But being able to see another point of view doesn't mean you have to agree with it. <br />TORN is about a woman who can't make up her mind, or rather, her views change as the story progresses. In the end, she follows her heart. It's up to the indivdual reader (not me) to say if she's made the right decision. gx<br /><br /> <br />Gilli Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234069151918319605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-64092823669411147622015-01-10T04:42:09.075-08:002015-01-10T04:42:09.075-08:00I love to hear the inspiration behind books.
