Mariia Manko asked Lorna Cook:

Lorna, when did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»

Lorna Cook Hi Mariia, thanks for getting in touch. I think that feeling sprung up on me when I'd finished the first draft of The Forgotten Village. I'd got to the end of the manuscript and thought, 'I can do this.' (Lots of editing and feedback from professionals came after that - helping to make the book so much better.) But it was when I'd finished that first draft that I felt like a writer. Until I'd finished it, I was just 'having a go.' Hope that makes sense! Lorna xx
