But whenever I sat down to do so, my mind would go blank, much the way those who want to meditate find their head suddenly fills with to-do lists. And it's easy to push it aside for more pressing things.

I wrote a lot for our business, but it wasn't until I finally committed to writing Little Buggers! that I realised how much I enjoyed it. And finding ways to inject a bit a humour to something as upsetting as an insect infestation gave me confidence to try writing a novel, likely because I was inserting myself into it and not just collating facts.

I heard a writer, whose name escapes me right now, who basically said give yourself permission to write and don't listen to those - including yourself - who think you can't write.

I'm prepared to take her advice, give it my all and, hopefully, succeed. (less)

I've been keeping track of what they're saying on bits of paper stashed in a folder and it's time to let them come out and play. It will tackle issues of trust and betrayal on different levels.(less)
