You also have to find whatever works for you, i.e. some writers like to just write whenever the inspiration hits them and some like to set aside a specific time each day to write. For me, writing in the early morning before work is usually best, I'm at my most creative then.(less)

There is no boss telling you what or when to write; there is nobody telling you how to do anything. Of course, total freedom is as much a challenge as anything else, and you do have to know how to discipline yourself!(less)

When did I start writing?

MY FIRST BOOK


When I was ten years old I wrote my very first book, entitled “Keepo the Puma”, a shameless rip-off of my favorite book at the time, “Kpo the Leopard” (which I still have a copy of by the way) written by the author I was obsessed with, Rene Guillot. My book was all handwritten of course. This was in the days long before computers and even before electric typewriters!

It’s a good thing Read more of this blog post »
