I’d like to tell you about some my favourite books. Or I could talk like a lot of readers do when being interviewed by an imaginary journalist, answering the following hyperbolic question: “What books have changed your life?” Continue reading “Some of my favourite books”

Be led by a vision, start dreaming again.
Should you only write when you’re inspired? Only write when you’re feeling positive? Should you only sing when you feel good? Only put hand to key when you are happy?

The sport of writing
Writers.They’re funny types. Weird.
By this, obviously I am including myself.
Think about it… if there was an athlete training for a triathlon or a marathon or some serious, inevitable event, what would they be doing?
