Four Creative Nuggets
“I spent an hour before work writing. And it felt so satisfying to
have done that before I've even started my working day.”
Often the most inspiring stories are those where success comes to
an author several books into their career.
So much is unknown in publishing, you just have to write the books
you really want to write.
Walking and talking are great ways to resolve plot holes
