Strangely enough i was washing my car. I don't do it very often. I believe that like children they are designed to tolerate a certain amount of mud.
I planned to sell the car and was busy working out what to do if someone wanted to take it on a test drive. Should i just let him take the car? Should i go with him?

I don't think you can work at getting inspired. An idea or a character pops into my head and i have to run with it. After that it is a question of arranging as much time as possible to sit at my desk with my laptop.
As my novels are set in the past i have a good excuse to read about the period and the people of the time.

There are two threads in the narrative of A Family Affair. There are two couples whose love is contrary to the law at the time.
The story grew so effortlessly that i had to choose to bring only one tangled love affair to a conclusion.
i am busy following the fate of the other pair of lovers.

i would go to the world of Jane Eyre and tell Mr Rochester to divorce Bertha.
It takes an Act of Parliament, but he can afford it. Her insanity provides him with sufficient grounds. Then she might get some proper care instead of being locked up in a cold and inhospitable place, such a contrast to her home of Jamaica.
