Writer's block, it sounds distressingly like constipation, so maybe I should consider eating more fruit. But generally I read a writer I admire to set the mind in motion again.

Read, write. Repeat until you get it right.

I was approached by two Swedish sailors who wanted their story published in English having had success with a publication in Swedish. A translation was out of the question as the original story was 'too Swedish'; the references would have been unknown to any readers unfamiliar with Scandinavia. A complete retelling of their story was required to give context to their adventures and to update what has happened to the places they visited in the interim. It was very amusing interviewing Yanne and Carl, listening to their hilarious account and interesting to research their journey, so I believe the book should prove interesting to read. It's not just a book about sailing; it's about following your dreams and the adventures, people and places you encounter on the way.

You know what they say: writing is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. Unfortunately for me it's the reverse, so I don't write as much as I should.
