As you will know, writing isn't just inspiration but persistence and perspiration. I'm dogged and would rather write a few sentences a day then do nothing. There are times when I sit and stare at the screen and even a few sentences seems impossible. Then I will walk and escape to the great outdoors. Break throughs always seem to come when I'm moving, walking or running. Sometimes I will look to my favourite authors, too, just to remind myself how they have dealt with narrative challenges.

2. Time you live in the fictional world in your head
3. Sparks at the computer, such as a turn phrase you didn't think you had in you. Pride in creation perhaps.
4. Praise. It's a lonely business, I don't think I'm the only writer who needs affirmation
It is a privilege but a painful one, because it can be a lonely business. (less)

‘A compelling story of power, passion and intrigue based on real events. A terrific read’ Nick Robinson, BBC Today presenter
