The science linking the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather to the climate crisis has matured tremendously in the last couple of years.
It's possible that I've matured as a writer and I hope I've matured emotionally but I always find myself revisiting these adolescent scenes.
This may sound funny but as much as the 'Today' show matured me it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk saying 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'
I'd say that after my father passed my writing changed it went deeper. Most would say 'matured' but I don't think I'd use that word in relation to my progress. I think 'change' is a little more accurate.
Flaming enthusiasm backed up by horse sense and persistence is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
