I guess I borrowed from current events, gave things a bit of a twist, but as I started writing, the fit wasn't quite right. I had to rewrite a couple of early chapters and now it's developing really nicely. Where did I get the idea for the changes? Not sure, it just seemed to make sense.

I still consider myself an aspiring writer, however here goes. Trust your own instincts, persist and treat criticism as a growth exercise.

The opportunity to channel my creativity. There were times when I couldn't believe the ideas that just seemed to flow.

It's frustrating!!!!! When I wrote Deception, I landed up living the characters. Writers bloc became like not knowing what you want to do with your own life :). I continue writing, even if it's drivel because eventually the penny will drop and it all fits together.

I don't make up lists. I read constantly and am more a spur of the moment reader. Once I've completed a book I decide where the mood takes me. As I am a thriller writer, I will be reading primarily thrillers, as I find this the best way to hone my own skills. Anything from Frederick Forsyth, Michael Robotham is particularly welcome.
