Writing Habits -The Four R’s: Read, Write, Re-write, Repeat

I’d planned a very productive year, twelve long months ago. My Daisy Chain publication plan was pinned purposefully above my desk and my intent was the strongest it had ever been.

Creating a Story Bible

Creating a Story Bible

Writing stories of whatever length, can mean gathering a lot of information. I don’t know about you, but I think I’m organised, then spend hours looking for that one snippet of research, or a name I thought would fit, or a picture of a setting. And the longer it takes (more…)
