How often are we crying out for inspiration? I know I sometimes am!
We feel stuck and maybe the lack of inspiration is the same thing as being stuck. Whether it is, or not, it can be frustrating and limiting – you have a book to finish by a deadline and you have no inspiration for [...]

It’s a cliché I know but it’s said there’s a book inside everyone. In my experience, once the first one comes out, a veritable flood ensues and there is no stopping a writer.

The 6 things that stop people writing
Part #005: Lack of Talent

This week I ran the first of a new format of workshop for me – called a Blockbusting Workshop, it’s specifically aimed at removing writer’s block and setting a bunch of talented and latent writers [...]
