Biographical account of writing journey
I've given a number of interviews in my writing career, but none more revealing than with Kate Grigg a couple of weeks ago. Kate's take is in today's Orillia Packet & Times; you can find the story online here. I'll say no more except that she has it right in every detail.

Good writeup, Ian!
From children's author Robert Munsch's website--

"I am a storyteller. I write books for kids, I talk to kids, and I listen to kids.
But that is not all that I am. Several years ago I was diagnosed as obsessive-compulsive and manic-depressive. Those challenges have led me to make some big mistakes...
I hope that others will also understand. I hope that everyone will talk to their kids honestly, listen to them, and help them do their best with their own challenges."
Thanks (who?). Struggles in life bring out our strengths, etc. Writing is the distillation of all the talents I've accumulated, and of all my life's experiences. Like I was saying a couple of weeks back, it's not just about trains (etc.). Appreciate the comment; I recognize your writing style as a friend of mine but I won't go out on a limb just yet!
