Keep chipping away, even if you're going over old ground; fill those pages with something, a stream of consciousness, a description of something that's happened, anything. It all helps.

I love being a writer. It's like having two lives: one in the day-to-day and another in my imagination. The only down-side is I often want to read the book I'm writing before I've finished it, and I get impatient.

Just write something. All writing is practice so don't worry if you don't like what you've written. Get something down and start flexing those writing muscles.

I am just writing the first chapter of a new novel set in a future Oxford. Without giving too much away it's going to look at a very isolated group of people, but it also is a bit of a sci-fi ghost story. I hope you'll enjoy it when it's finished.

I have too many ideas! Everything inspires me, from things I see on the street, conversations overheard on the bus, the TV, other books, my dreams, you name it!

It started as a simple 'what would happen if'. Hearing about so many terrible things that happen to people I began to wonder what I would do if I had the ability to go back in time to fix them. And then I began to think what all that time travelling could do to me.
