Hi Bernard, Two slightly personal questions which I’ll understand if you do not wish to answer. 1. Does the isolation of being a writer bother you? How do you combat it?

2. By the same token, how do you prevent the outside world distracting you…i.e. the car that needs to be serviced, the dental appointment etc etc etc

3. Which leads to my final question. Of all your many talents are dedication and discipline the most important? Regards, Willie
