Hi, I'm migrating all the information over to the new site: www.bewleybooksplus.com - you can go there and join in the Forum page if you wish, plus there's a blog page there for writers, too.
Look forward to hearing from you.

It's an odd concept, but I've never had it. I have so many ideas bursting from my mind and heart, that I haven't got enough time in the day to write them all down! But for those who do have to deal with it, I'm about to publish a book called "How to be an author - Writing Your Writing", and in it you'll find tons of ideas on how to deal with it.

You can create some fantastic worlds for people to immerse themselves in and give your characters the justice you don't witness often in reality.

I've written a book that's about to be published on "How to be an author - Writing Your Writing" - in it, I give lots of advice to aspiring writers about how to get their words down on the page and out to the people who want to read them.

I'm a great people 'listener'. I throw odd questions into the air to find out what comes back - some are nonsensical, some are idiotic, and some are interesting that people want to debate.
For instance, I'll hear a couple of girls engrossed in a conversation say, about lipstick colours, and I'll throw them off the course of this and ask them: "Do you think there's another 'realm' beside this reality we live in?"
Then I watch their physical, emotional and verbal responses.
At first, they'll look at me as though I'm mad, because, I've asked them to think of something way beyond what their minds were focused on. Then I sit back and let them indulge themselves with thinking 'outside the box' they were in.
From their conversations arise little gems of ideas. For me, these are seeds that begin to grow into stories.

The idea for my most recent book, 'For the Love of Sweet William', came to me when I had such a powerful emotional response to a famous film star's marriage. My first thought was, "Oh no! He could have waited for me!"
So the seeds of an idea started to grow in me. If I could feel those negative emotions to what was a wonderful event for him and the woman in his life, what must others be feeling?
As a result, I put my psychotherapy skills to use and focused on a story that would show the 'denial' stage of grief - and the stories/world a person can create to hide from showing their true emotions.

Hi Tom, I too am finding it difficult to navigate this site. The best way is to join a couple of groups and ask people. Other than that, it's just play with it and see what you can find out.
As for your book, I don't know how I found it. I think I just clicked up on the top browser button and searched in their book information pile. Sorry not to be of more help.
I will look up Claire Weekes book, is it on Amazon? If so, what's the name of it?
