    Read through the most famous quotes from Tanith Lee




    The other writer who had a very important early influence on me when I was about 17 was C.S. Lewis. ↗

    As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm. ↗

    I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped. ↗

    I love writers all across the board, but one who influenced me very directly at the beginning was Mary Renault. ↗

    I never know where I am going, though. That is part of what makes it so wonderful. And after all, who does? ↗

    I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work. ↗


    — Tanith Lee

    I think of myself as a storyteller, and that is it. ↗


    — Tanith Lee

    #i think #myself #storyteller #think

    I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it! ↗
