Do the washing up! Strange but true. I have had several plot revelations pop into my head whilst at the kitchen sink. If I'm struggling with a scene I'm fairly confident it will resolve itself if I'm up to my elbows in suds.

Write something, anything, regularly. It doesn't matter if you don't like it or you don't think it is any good. You are honing your craft. Leonardo didn't paint the Mona Lisa straight away. He spent many years perfecting his work.
Learn patience.
Learn to accept criticism, if it is justified. Learn to reject criticism if it is not.

A steampunk themed adventure for my gentleman spy, Dr August Trueblood. A comedy thriller aimed at older readers.
I'm also working on the sequel to Children of Another Albion, called The Obsidian Church. I suspect it will be slightly darker in tone to CofAA.

Not sure inspired is the word. Often one has to force oneself to write because it so much easier not to. Now and then an ideal will emerge and I find I have to do something with it otherwise it will be lost.
I enjoy little writing challenges. I belong to a couple of local writing groups and we set ourselves homework each month. These exercises can trigger flashes of inspiration. Many of the stories on my website are a result of these homeworks.
