I've often procrastinated, but finally realised that it helps to go for a walk or go do something to take my mind off the book, such as hitting golf balls on the driving range or quickly meeting up with a friend for coffee.

Some days I feel like I am sitting in a director's chair!

Do your research about what it takes to be a writer before you decide to "do it". It takes time to get used to being a writer - but it's one of the most incredible things in the world once you fully accept it. Then just keep writing and believing - some days your dreams will be the only thing forcing you to get those words onto paper.

I'm currently querying agents for a memoir I co-authored. The book is set in Africa and tells the story of a rhino monitor and the rhinos he looked after. Fascinating stuff!

I'm sure I'm not the only author to say "coffee"! And piano music. And seeing or feeling those small moments of magic in the world. That inspires me to try and shape words on paper to create some form of magic, even if it's just for one person.

I was assigned to cover the "Boeremag" trial as an intern journalist in 2011. I started conducting interviews shortly after, knowing that this story had to become a book. I finally started writing the book in 2017 and after years of research, the story now lives between pages.
