Very nice mini-biography and just the right length. The lives of virtually anonymous others done in this way can be fascinating.

Thank you! (I did write a longer first draft with a bit more detail but I’m not sure it really added anything to what feel we can get for her life.)

Clearly to write about other people you need to be at least a little bit interested in people in general. Does it also work the other way round? I.e. has writing about others made you less self-absorbed (not suggesting that you ever were!) and more interested in others?
