I know if I'm writing there are periods of time for thinking and working out the characters' next steps. I take the time I need. I go for walks, I garden or do something else that gives my mind time to process and play with different scenarios. I need that time, and give myself permission to take it. I always find the answers in the end.

Writing is hard work. It may not seem to be, but actually a great deal of labour goes into making a story come alive on the page. And if I need to rest, I rest. But I know I'm working on the story in the back of my mind. (less)

I'm always striving to write better and capture a scene more effectively. I can't imagine not writing. Even if it's just typing the answers to these questions, I am writing. I always have a journal on hand, and I have a separate journal for my poetry, and a note book for the novel I'm working on. (less)

I like to fish. When I fish, it’s to eat what I catch. I’ve fished in sweet water, salt water. I’ve even ice fished. I’m not very successful at fishing if you measure success by the number and size of fish I’ve caught, but I’ve enjoyed myself.

The colour of the ocean varies greatly depending on its depth. Shifting from swimming pool blue in the shallow coral banks of the Bahamas to dark indigo of Read more of this blog post »
