Elizabeth Moon est en interview sur le web ici.

Petit extrait :
"TH: When did you know that you wanted to be a writer? How did you know?
Elizabeth Moon: It was so early that I don’t even remember…I started writing as soon as I could form letters and apparently (family memory) made up stories before that. But I didn’t do more than daydream about being a “real” writer because it seemed such an impossible and impractical occupation. I couldn’t imagine not writing…I couldn’t imagine being published….or, if published, making a living at it. The shift (shaky at first) to imagining publication and even payment came in my thirties, first with nonfiction, and then with fiction.

TH: Of course, most writers want to have bestsellers or make some sort of artistic or literary impact. Is there some unrealized accomplishment that you’re striving for in the near future?
Elizabeth Moon: Right now, survival in the economic maelstrom. Long-term–I have yet to write the perfect book–the book that’s as good as it was in my head. I’d love to look back at a book after five years and not think “Yes, but…” about it. I have books I want to write–including at least two non-fiction. And several non-writing goals as well.."
