Bainbridge on Writing
'When you get older you get more doubtful about what you can do. The writing becomes a job of work, and while that doesn't mean you don't enjoy it, is does become much harder. The gap between what you intend to do and how it turns out seems bigger, although you do learn more all the time. When you are young it is just easy. But now I know how difficult it is to write things to the standard I would like and it is really quite scary.'
Beryl Bainbridge in the Guardian
