Alan Garner chat transcript

[altariel]

Thank you to the wondrous katlinel for directing me to this transcript of a webchat with Alan Garner, in which land, language, writing and history are discussed, and the phrase "Mabinogiongoing plans" is coined.

communicator, this remark may interest you, about not-writing:

"I look on the 'down' as an imposed period of hibernation that allows the unconscious and creative mind to overcome the rational intellect."

Hey, Una! Could you do me the biggest favor in the world?

My friend reilyn_no_yumme is working on a report for class exploring different careers, and she was wondering about professional writing. If you have a little spare time could you tell her a bit about it, please? I would be *so* grateful. (We're trying to get all the information first hand!)

Of course, no problem - I love talking about myself! ;-D I can't get that link to your friend's journal to work though - do you just want to email me directly?

It's OK - I had a cup of coffee and then was able to work out that if I went to your friends' list, I could find your friend... ;-D
