Hitting your head against a brick wall

In today’s WHAT WORKS FOR ME post I wanted to clarify a point I made in the very first of these articles back in January.

David Moody describes how the setting of the climax of his novel STRAIGHT TO YOU had a surprising influence on the plot.

Ever put down a book or walked out of a cinema and felt disappointed because what you just read or watched didn’t live up to expectations?

My last writing article went down well so here are a few words of dubious wisdom about the generation, gestation and harvesting of IDEAS.

I had some great responses to my post about planning last week, several from fellow authors who were keen to tell me how they do things.

Today I want to talk about planning: how much planning I do and how it fits into the overall writing process.

There’s only so much about writing that you can learn from other people. I think it’s something which can’t necessarily be taught.
