What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Nav Logan People have said I should write an autobiography of the thirteen years i spent as a new age traveller, most of it with horses and wagons, but I never took the suggestion seriously. I do however include some of my experiences, both travelling and during the rest of my life in my writings, whether they be scenes in my novels or short stories or drabbles. For instance, there is a part of the book The Gathering of the Clans where Conal travels under the mountains to reach Ard Pect. This is based on a real life experience of a childhood den we found. The only was to reach it was to shuffle along a pipe inch by inch in the darkness as it was in a tunnel under a main road in Bolton Lancashire. The light of the entrance would gradually shrink as it got darker and darker, and then would disappear altogether as the tunnel turned a corner leaving you in pitch blackness, with nothing but the spiders webs and the splashing of rats in the stream for company. It was a great den as you needed lots of courage to reach it,

Hey Nav... This a question I'm asking of several writers, some friends, some strangers... If you were your own life-coach, and had to come up with a patch that would improve one area of your life (your writing or personal life) for 2016, what area would that be, and what would you tell yourself to do differently? What adjustments would you suggest? *Only off-limits subject: time-management. Thanks!

Nav Logan Hi Jason. That's an interesting question. Thank you. I'm a great believer in the interconnected nature of the universe, so for me, it's hard to find anything i'd want to change. I am inspired to write by the world around me, whether that's an overheard conversation, a picture on facebook, or a piece of music I hear, they all bring forth ideas which I want to write about. If I was somebody else, I'd say focus, on one particular piece at a time, but that's not how I write. I've nearly finished another novel and can't get the inspiration to complete it at the moment, but I have faith that when the time is right, I will finish the job. In the meantime, I write other things, short stories and drabbles instead.
