“The View From Here” Literary Magazine – A Considered Interview

The lovely Jen Persson has interviewed me over on The View From Here literary magazine:

Jen read my website, my blog and my Facebook page before asking me these twenty considered questions, so some of them were very difficult to answer!!

Thank you, Jen, you did a great job 🙂

Let me know what you think – either below or at the end of Jen’s interview.

    What a great interview! Well done. And thank you for the mention. 🙂 I think your 3 points for the unpublished are spot on. And I totally forgive you for the David Guetta thing. Now *that* is true friendship.

    Thanks Zena *blushes* for your kind remarks. It was fun! ‘Come and see us again’ sometime soon. PS: And let me know what you think of Ness.

    Great interview. The three pitfalls are particularly good. And spending only 10% of your time on social media is a good approach. I think I spend more than that. I need to cut back!

    I know I’ve already said this on Twitbook, but great interview. Really nicely done. Thanks again for all your help recently Zena.

      Thanks, Simon! And you’re welcome 🙂

      I wonder if one day there will be a Twitbook. I get messages from people on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn AND on here. It would be helpful to have just one centralised place for them all.

      That said, we don’t want Big Brother taking control, and division splits that hypothetical rule 😉
