I think this is one of the hardest questions that can come along. Is this bit of inspiration enough for a book. I think there are two ways of looking at it.
First of all, how enthusiastic are you about the idea? Because if you aren’t brimming over when you start [...]

Yesterday I talked about inspiration, now let’s talk about the next step germination. When I get an idea for a book, I start by writing it down. If I really, really like it, I put it in a school composition notebook and keep it on my desk–I currently have four of these germinating and growing.
Now [...]

I have the terrible fate of seeing stories everywhere, yet have no time to write them all. I’ll sit down with my editor and she’ll say, “What are you thinking about doing next?” And I start telling her. Eight books later she has this glazed sort of panicked look about her, like [...]

Okay, this isn’t going to be brilliant or even pithy. Pittiable might be a better word. You see I’m sick. Have been for two weeks. Can’t get into the doctor until tomorrow. The only upside is that if you scream and rant, I can’t hear you because my ears are plugged.

You can see the monitor and [...]

aka Emily’s writing nest is a mess.
For like 1 year now I’ve got in the back of my head that I need to organise my desk. It still hasn’t happened. I have that with a lot of things. There are so many things I want to do, but so little spare time to do it. [...]

Here’s a picture of my “nest”. My desk is situated in one corner of my bedroom next to a window so I may look out at my beautiful roses. I’m pretty anal about keeping it neat as I can’t seem to concentrate if there’s clutter. On the desk, I have my laptop (with no distracting [...]

Do you love ‘em or hate ‘em? Personally, I have mixed feelings about reviews. If it’s an author that I love (auto-buy) and they get a great review, then I’m happy for them. If they get a negative review, then of course, I’m upset (and I wonder if we read the same book). But when [...]
