Development
As a young child Science Fiction was very important in her household. Growing up, she always read weird fiction books, some being “Silken Swift” by Theodore Sturgeon and "Gabriel Ernest" by Saki. As a young child, a majority of her time was spent at dance venues because of her parents’ professional dancing careers. This is where her and her parents would discuss all different types of “weird” work, like Hamlet, Dracula, etc.

Lee admits that she has changed a lot physically since her first publication. Her hair, for example, is beginning to turn white. As for her work, she says she is not too sure. She explains that she is still the same person that loves what she does. She admits to branching out into other genres, but she believes that it is all a part of the “in-love-with-work business.” However, aging has taken quite a toll on her. In a 2011 interview, Tanith Lee talks about how she used to be able to write at all hours of the day and night, but due to her old age, she has not been working as rigorously. She used to have a set schedule for her writing, but now she works when she can and when she feels able too (mostly everyday). Even today Lee admits that all she wants to do is write, and that has never changed.
