The Writers Workout – 3 Serial Focus
Number 3 is about focus, the coach states that you cannot finish anything until you have focus. This is what is needed to make a career out of writing. It is said that many people can have a one hit wonder but only the career writers have focus. I fit into the category of someone…
How to get regular
I know what you’re thinking, plenty of fibre…. but no that not what I am referring to. Apparently you only need to do something for 3 weeks for it to become regular, so I am going to try it. Although at this point I am not sure what to try. Blogging Writing Prose Or maybe…
Sunny, or not so sunny Blackpool
It has been a long while coming but me and the wife are away in Blackpool for three days. We have been looking forward to this for a while. It’s getting colder but as long as it isn’t raining we should have a good time. It’s just nice to be away from the office (work…

Stephen King – On Writing
