8 things I'll state about me (still trying to answer a couple)
Name:
I'm Dawn Fry, I was christened Dawn Sadie Huggins, and my Dad said he wanted to call me Dawn Sadie Innocence Huggins (so my initials spelt 'DISH' - he always said it was a good job he didn't - as in I wasn't pretty enough - defo my Dad's style of joke, a bit harsh).
Where am I from:
I grew up in rural Essex, UK in a little village called Woodham Mortimer - I called it Rigor Mortis!
Why do I want to write?
I feel like something is inside wanting to get out. Did you see Small Prophets (BBC)? How amazing would it be if you could make someone feel an iota of what that evokes......
What's my fav story?
As a kid, I loved The Wind in the Willows - we had a great teacher that really made it come alive, reading to us each day. I also love the film Moonstruck - I love the family dynamics, how the mum is searching for the meaning of why men cheat on women (they fear death) and some of the minor characters are fab, and make the film for me.
What's my fav fictional character?
(Will come back later on this - I need to sleep on it)
What's my fav writer?
Sally Wainwright did an amazing job with Riot Women, as I'm of that age, it really spoke to me. A book that has stayed with me forever was Perfume by Patrick Suskind - how someone could write so evocatively about smell was completely genius (the film was shit).
What world/universe do you wish you'd come up with?
I don't know - this makes my mind go blank.
Change ending of an existing story and why?
(More time needed for this answer too)
What would the story of your life be called?
Being Seen
Where do you hope to get to with my writing?
Just doing it would be a fab start.....having fun, getting the creative juices flowing - not thought beyond that.
I used to have a dream to be invited as a guest onto Women's Hour - how amazing if that was connected to my writing (sadly the programme isn't a patch on what it used to be so maybe I need a new dream).
