Eventually, after some solid word-spinning, with no idea whether or not what goes on the screen is worth more than a bent sou, I'm taking a moment to plug the Relax and Write course on crime writing I'm teaching at Cirencester April 6 -8. This is at the Royal Agricultural College.
I don't know if other writers think like this, but I find that leading discussions on the craft usually forces me to think again, and I learn more every time I meet other writers.
The Relax and Write courses have a special quality: they are low-key, full of discussion but with time to write as well, and most of all, they tend to be in very welcoming - often rural- locations. I'm sharing the weekend with Kate Walker, who is giving support in a writers' retreat for romance writing.
So it's not too late to book, at the Relax and Write site.
I just know that I'm going to come home with a new writing idea in my head, and it may never work out, but I take comfort from the fact that R L Stevenson had over 300 false starts or rough drafts, discovered after his death.
