Quote of the day

‘The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.’— Gustave Flaubert

Actually Gus, it’s the art of summoning up the energy to begin and the willpower to see it through to a conclusion.

    How true is that!!!

    Took me so many years to conquer the “You’re kidding yourself on” syndrome.

    Problem I now have, is that my main job is suffering cos I can’t focus, due to ideas for my novel popping into my head at the most inopportune moments.

    Think I’m developing a split personality.

    Any ideas for a cure? As I can’t afford to give up the day job.

      There is no cure, only self-discipline. Next time you take a holiday, be prepared to use it to get started.

    I’m the world’s best undisciplined writer.
    The journey has already given me greater rewards than I thought possible, to expect more would be greedy, but, you know, a wannabe can dream. The most important thing for me is that I love books and appreciate the diversity of creative minds more and more with each passing day.
