I’m trying out a different genre. I’ve written two crime books and the third is a family drama.

Don’t be constrained by genres or what has gone before. Follow your intuition and do whatever you want to do.

Spending time alone. The world is relentlessly busy sometimes with many demands on our time and attention. Once you actually are a writer, people accept that you’re quite happy not being in the pub/ at the party/ shopping/ exercising etc etc so there’s a freedom that comes with it.

I dealt with it by starting to write another book. I found that one would naturally stall and then I would concentrate on the other one for a few days by which time I was ready to go back to the first one. I think it helps to stop thinking about the book you’re ‘blocked’ on and give your mind a complete break from it.

Tom’s midnight garden. I read it when I was a child and thought it was a fantastic piece of escapism. I always was in a world of my own as a child so this book really resonated.
