Go for a walk, and think about your characters, let them 'talk' freely. Sometimes when you are blocked it means your story has a 'knot' in it, and you need to go back and unravel the story to a point where your writing was free and easy. We all go off down the wrong road at times, and sometimes you need to backtrack. Hope this is some help. I don't know where you live, but I hope the books will be available to you one day. Best wishes, Kate(less)

Best wishes for a Happy Christmas!

How are you all? Today is VJ Day, and a great time to be talking to Forthwrite about the women who served in WW2, and the little known women's histories which inspired my work. Many people all over the world are thinking of relatives who perhaps they were never lucky enough to meet, but whose service and sacrifice brought peace. In a world increasingly blighted by discord and conflict, it is m Read more of this blog post »

Hi Steve - thanks, Goodreads is a lot of fun (if, as an author, you can resist the temptation to check out the reviews of your own books!). Look forward to seeing your recommendations. K


Stephen Besecker Kate, I can't say how much I enjoy your reviews; when others (reviewers) seem to have a little skin in the game, I feel like you are giving your honest opinion. keep up the great work.
