We are the slaves of slaves

We are the slaves of slaves

When I began to write seriously, 40 years ago now, my chosen form was the novel.

I am as I am. The world is as it is. Whether I am content with that has very little to do with it.

Self-sufficiency is the enemy of salvation. If you are self-sufficient, you have no need of God. If you have no need of God, you do not seek Him. If you do not seek Him, you will not find Him.

I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.

My study is a converted garage which is largely lined with bookshelves and cardboard boxes filled with manuscripts of my film scripts, plays and books.
