The Colour of My Life by Morton S. Gray

Which colour features most in your life? is one of the questions I’m asking my guest blog authors at the moment. For me, I love lots of colour in my life and not necessarily the same one. I like my house and garden to be colourful, I crochet colourful blankets and I wear lots of different colours too.

As I was writing this, I remembered that my father was colour blind. Apparently 1 in 12 men are colour blind as compared to 1 in 200 women. How I would like to travel back in time and ask dad more about how he saw the world. I know that his parents were bemused by a picture he painted at school which they thought was a field and he said it was actually a beach. My mother always put out his shirt and tie each morning, as I guess she had to make sure he didn’t choose clashing colours.

In answering the question about which colour features most in my life – I would have to say all of them! So why when I am writing my books, do I have to remind myself to use colour? It doesn’t seem to make sense to me and yet I often have to go through my first drafts for the specific purpose of adding more colour. I have come to the conclusion that I see my story in my head in colour and therefore when I am rushing to get the story down onto the screen or notebook, I don’t focus on the colours because they are just there in my mind.

Thankfully my books have been published with colourful covers too 😄
