Book two is a continuation of 'Bobby's' life so mabye that's a bit easier than starting a brand new title? I really admire authors that can produce several totally different storylines and keep the reader wanting more! Hats off to them!

Feedback from friends and family and constructive comments from other writers! If people like what you do it spurs you on to do more? Reviews are important too - some that I have had on Amazon really inspired me and I forged on full of confidence! I have though had all the dips in self value and the doubts that my work is sellable - probably all the other writers would agree that's part of the process?

I'm just starting book 3 of the Bobby 'Chicken Legs' Muldoon trilogy! First one is called 'The Wit and Wisdom of Bobby 'Chicken Legs' Muldoon, second one (just launched last week) is called 'Life and Love in The Gorbals'.

Don't analyse your first draft - just write... and write... and write... whatever comes out of your head! Then go back and shape it into something that flows well?

Seeing all the hard work come to fruition and hold your published book in your hands! Fantastic!

Time out to do something totally different! I've had a one week long mental block before but the reason was... I didn't know where my character 'Bobby' should go next in a particular situation!! Then it cleared and off I went again!
