David Bodanis
Writing comes easily for me when I've found a topic I genuinely care about: where I'm not writing for effect, or thinking of anything else.
Getting to that point isn't easy, and sometimes there's a long, painful period batting around different ideas; making different trial runs. (I still remember the incredibly unpleasant period doing that for a few months before I got the tone of my old Secret House book, 30 years ago!) But pushing through that is, usually, very much worth it.
