#writersCoffeeClub 8 May: What experience can you identify as having made you the writer you are today? When I had objections to some rumors about the 1996 Dr Who telemovie (picked up on usenet, because argh I'm old). My dad said if I didn't like it, I should write my own. I had always been vaguely interested in writing, but that gave me something to focus on, like a...a seed crystal or something. It would still be years and years before I really finished a story, though, and even longer before I wrote something approaching a novel.
