Creating a different world and getting to know it in depth and detail. Having an excuse to just sit and think, without someone telling you to get back to work. And for non-fiction writers moving into fiction, like ourselves, the greatest joy of all is being able to just make things up (whilst of course being historically accurate) , and not have to provide footnotes!

Write something every day if you can, even if it is only a few dozen words. It doesn’t matter what it is; you can describe a scene you see, or an imaginary conversation, or anything at all that comes into your head. Writing is like a muscle; the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. Also, listen to your writing. Play it aloud in your head, or read it aloud if you can, and listen to the cadence and rhythm. If something sounds wrong to you, then it probably is wrong. Rhythm is so important in writing.(less)

“Everyone doubts,’ she said. ‘Only fools and fanatics have certainty, and we should admit neither group to our company.”
