@ThompsonEirin @TheFriendMag Think my daughter has a copy. I'll give it a try.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@ThompsonEirin @TheFriendMag I love that film. Not read the book.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag I'll be hated for saying this by the true fans, but I prefer the Peter Jackson LOTR films to Tolkien's books. They cut out so much of the seemingly endless history and battles. The films are so good too (extended DVD versions obviously)

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@PCarey_author @TheFriendMag I think I wrote something like that, too!

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag Not really, but I do find it easier to write my next year's Christmas short stories at Christmas rather than, say, at Easter!

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@lou_mcivor @TheFriendMag How many? That's a tome!

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag Too hard! I think readers perceive characters in different ways. Even I have been surprised by the way some of my characters are perceived - not in the way I imagined them to be.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag There are so many good period dramas that no-one has touched for years. I'd happily watch one of those, providing it is historically accurate.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag The fact that someone has taken the time to say anything is lovely because it means they've read them!

@TheFriendMag Georgian followed by the 50s

@TheFriendMag Just finished Kate Atkinson's Case Histories. Then watched the TV series - actually prefer the series.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag I've had my paid career. For me, writing's about reaching people with my stories and making them smile. I reach more people with a story in @TheFriendMag than I ever would if I tried to market a book myself. Then, one word of praise about a story is worth more than money.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag I wrote one about the heartbreaking decision to place my mum into a residential home when her dementia became too severe for me to cope with. I focused on the lighter side of it all, which is what my mum would have wished. Without her, I would not be writing now.

@nerinelily1 @TheFriendMag Good luck. We're just beginning Week 9 with our adolescent rescue Border terrier who suffers from separation anxiety particularly at night😱

@TheFriendMag I can spot an Ai' picture and video (at the moment). I'm hoping it will always be like 'I can't believe it's not butter'.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag I'd love to say 'begin much sooner' but I was doing other things then and they're all part of the journey.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag I don't. The only time I might dip into one is for research but if I'm reading for pleasure I would never choose a biography. However, I would watch a documentary about anyone.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@keelerangie @TheFriendMag Snap!

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag No. Unless you can call my side of the bed a reading nook.

[Audrey Mary Brooks Writer @AudBrooksWriter]

@TheFriendMag If it's for @TheFriendMag I don't really think about it much, because it's usually changed. Other books have their titles changed over and over until I'm happy. I once spent three weeks working on a title for a children's musical.
