I can't say I have yet suffered from writer's block, but obviously there are days I feel more inspired than others.

For me personally the trick is to get out of the house to write. I do my best work in cafes with a nice flat white at my side. This is not only because a good cafe provides a creative environment but more because there are less distractions. I realise that sounds odd - surely a busy cafe is full of noise and distractions? Let me explain:

If I'm having trouble getting from one sentence to the next when I'm at home, I'll invariably get out of my chair and put the kettle on, put a load of washing on, make a phone call, anything to distract me from having to get to that next sentence. If I'm out at a cafe I can't just get up and wander away from the table - I have to sit there and work through it. Even if that means ordering another coffee. And I do. Works every time!(less)

It's actually a lot of hard work and slog and I can't imagine you would put in the amount of effort that's required unless you really loved it.

So that's what I think is the best thing about being a writer. It means you've found the thing that you most love doing in the world. Sounds simplistic but a lot of people haven't yet found "their thing".(less)

The Amalfi Coast on a plate . . .

You know how it is with holidays – a week back at home and work and your time away feels like nothing more than a distant memory.


Having said that, memories should not be underestimated. Life is so much about experiences and creating memories. My recent trip to Italy – Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast –  created so many wonderful memories I hardly know where to start. Perhaps that’s the reason I’ve be
