Then I extended my writing to people's lives etc and looking at my own in the process. For month's family and friends tried to persuade me to forget it, and I suppose that's exactly what I was going to do. Then in May 1978 I had a letter from Neil Diamond (forgetting that I'd sent a letter to him 7 - 8 months before!) In his letter it said "hold onto your own sensitivies" And after that no one was going to stop me, with their words like "what do you want to do that for?" or "oh not another poem". Then when I met my husband he was very positive too. That was my way forward.view less
