Here you’ll find snippets on different aspects of the art and craft of writing.

This relates to my own experience writing non-fiction, but much of it also applies to fiction too. I’m fascinated by the whole process of getting a book from idea to product, so there will be stuff about that.

The practicalities are easy to pin down. The fluffy stuff is more difficult: inspiration, refining an idea, finding a voice, shaping a narrative, overcoming doubt. Nothing would happen without them. So – over time – they’ll be here too.

They won’t appear in any sensible order but as the fancy takes me. And they aren’t meant to build up into a definitive guide, more a ‘how it works (and sometimes doesn’t) for me’.

It’s also a space for you to share your own thoughts, ideas and experience.
