Mick Morris
On and off, between other projects, I've been writing an autobiographical memoir about life as a gigging musician - what it's like when you take away the glamour or recognition of our more famous brethren. The working title is, `Don't give up the day job'.
I don't always have a clearly defined book project on the go, but I store away anything that could be useful - poems, short stories, any random ideas about characters, themes, places, dialogue, etc. In my experience, not much gets wasted.

Like many people I'd guess, I am troubled by the potential for our membership of the European Project to become the cause of a hugely damaging and long-lasting schism in British Society.

1. Put the down the pen or turn off the PC.
2. Grab a notebook and go to my favourite bar
Then you've got a choice.
1. Sit quiet and alone, let your mind wander over the issue, but don't try too hard. Sometimes it helps to draw a `decision tree' which I find can help to show up inconsistencies and reveal options.
2. Talk to a friend about the problem. Listen carefully for clues in his observations.
Either way, make notes. Don't rely on memory. Repeat the above as often as necessary.
