GR Jordan is a self-published author who finally decided at forty that in order to have an enjoyable lifestyle, his creative beast within would have to be unleashed.

I do have favourite places to write and often will take myself out to a coffee shop, or if the weather is particularly good (I live in NW Scotland so this is rare!) I go to a local park and write there. Usually I am chewing over my writing all the time and have the ideas ready to go when I sit down. I wish I was writing enough to run out of ideas! There's no zone with me, I just keep writing. Its the editing and rewrite days that make or break the writing. Picking the wheat from the chaff is the real key. And that's not a zone, that's just experience and feel. (less)

It is all there for you. And if someone else gets your journey, that's the icing on the cake.(less)

Pressure

image


One of the things common to us all is that at some point in our life we will have been under pressure or stress. Be it a moment that jumped up in front of us, say a bank robbery or seeing someone about to be hit by a car, or whether that it is the slow build up of a situation which requires us to endure some sort of pain to see it through, we have all had experience of these things.
