I’m a weeper!

Yep, put me in front of a movie that tugs at the heartstrings and I’m a goner ~ break out the tissue box for me! Any sporting achievement and my eyes fill, I’m not even picky about the competitor being Australian – I’m just moved by personal triumph. When the Olympics come around I’m sure tissue manufacturers cheer given the boxes that get used at my house.

Strangely though, it takes an extra special book to make me cry. Not sure why but I rarely cry when reading – that doesn’t mean I haven’t been moved by …

Those who have hung around my blog long enough will know that my eldest girl’s appendix ruptured a couple of years ago, strangely enough when she was exactly the same age!

What appeals to you most about writing fiction?
