In those instances, I picture myself as the character and just get them doing something, even something really boring like putting the rubbish out - as you move with them, things happen and it just gets going again! I suppose you could say it's just writing yourself into the tale again. Any bits that remain boring can be stripped out.(less)

A Fragile Thing is Back!

A little while ago, the publisher of my most recent book, A Fragile Thing, decided to close its doors. This was not easy for me, as it is something I have gone through before and I do find it upsetting but I’ve learned to be pragmatic and just get on with things.
