Iain Purdie Sorry, Jorge. I read that book a couple of years back since which time I've read a couple of hundred others. I only barely remember the title and author!
Iain Purdie There was an election. Donald Trump won.
Iain Purdie Do it. Try it. Edit it. Read it again. Get someone who doesn't know / like you to proofread it. Your friends and family will be too forgiving.
Iain Purdie At present, my time's almost equally divided between my "real" job (teacher) and managing the Moshville Times website. The aim is to get the website ticking over a little more autonomously in the hands of the capable Crew so I have more time to do other things... like kickstarting the Cord adventures again.
Iain Purdie Honestly, I struggle. At the moment I have so many pots on the boil that writing fiction is quite far down my list of things I have time for. Sometimes, though, the inspiration just takes me - right out of the blue - and I have to jot something down or records it, even if it's just in note form.

A lot of the action sequences I write, in particular, come together when I'm doing other things and something just catches my attention. My brain just squirrels off in a "what if...?" direction and two-three pages of prose follows!
