Wielding the writing sword at Dragonfly Scrolls

Kim Koning has a zeal to make the world a thoroughly creative place. She lives for writing and art and her blog, Dragonfly Scrolls, has just hit its hundredth post. To say she's prolific is an understatement. She's probably put more words into the ether in a few short months than I have in all the time I've been posting – and she somehow also completed NaNoWriMo. Now Kim has decided to celebrate her blogging centenary by giving herself yet another task – a series of interviews called Warrior Wednesdays.

I'm honoured to be the first writer chosen to draw the writing sword. Join me on her blog where we talk about how a journalism background both helps and hinders fiction writing, why story rules are like laws of physics, what advice I would give myself as a newbie writer – and what on earth nailing your novel means.
