Before I started it I thought I would have no problem at all writing a daily post on this blog but I have been unable to decide how to use it.
It seems to me there's a conflict of time and resource in that people seem to be either mainly bloggers or mainly writers. There are so many high quality posts on blogs that could easily be magazine articles, it seems such a shame that the writers don't get paid for them.
So while I figure out how I'm going to use this, the blog has been having a snooze.

Writing Books I would recommend:
- 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott ~ excellent book about how it feels to be a writer, about hard lessons she has learned, all peppered with understanding and humour. Made me laugh every few pages.
- 'Old Friend from Far Away' by Natalie Goldberg ~ excellent help with memoir writing.
- 'Immediate Fiction' by Jerry Cleaver ~ great help with the core ingredients of a novel: want / obstacle / action / emotion in the reader.
- 'Weekend Novelist Writes a Mystery' by RJ Ray & J Remick ~ An excellent step-by-step guide to constructing a crime or mystery novel.
- 'Escaping into the Open' by Elizabeth Berg ~ a gentle guide to help you get started. Ideal for someone new to writing.
- 'Lights! Camera! Fiction!' by Alfie Thompson ~ excellent on all story aspects and an easy read. Treat yourself -learn and enjoy!
- 'Hooked' by Les Edgerton ~ a great 2nd level book to help improve a first draft
- 'Plot & Structure' by James Scott Bell ~ best primer on how to write a novel. Packed with encouragment and helpful techniques.
