Voici une courte interview d'Esther Friesner. (est-ce que quelqu'un s'en souvient dans la salle ?)

C'est en anglais et c'est ici.

Extrait :
Why do you write?
Esther Friesner : I write because it's what I've always done, for as long as I've enjoyed reading or hearing stories. I "wrote" my first piece at age 3, dictating a poem to my mother. I still remember it because it was such a weird little poem. It started out being about a happy bunny rabbit, and rhyming, and ended as free verse with the bunny fighting and destroying some sort of magical villain. Did I mention it was weird? Yup. [g]

Finding ideas for stories has never been a problem for me. They're everywhere! Finding the time to get them all down on paper. . .that's the problem. But it's so satisfying when I get the initial inspiration and am -finally- able to tame it to the point where I'm successfully communicating it to readers. It's a lot like telling someone else about the really fabulous dream you had last night, except when you try putting the wonder of it into words, you fall short. Ot isn't enough to tell your audience "You had to be there" when you want to be a writer. You have to be able to -take- them there.
